The PLDT-Smart Foundation: Uplifting the quality of life of each and every Filipino

The PLDT-Smart Foundation (PSF) is a non-stock, non-profit organization that fully serves as the social outreach arm of the country's oldest and largest telecommunications conglomerate, the Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT) and its wireless subsidiary, Smart Communications, Inc. (Smart). In its pursuit for social, political, and economic development, it provides helpful communication tools and various avenues for progress and empowerment through partnerships and tie-ups with non-government organizations, people's organizations and cooperatives throughout the Philippines. Since its inception in 1994, PSF has given more than PhP200-million in cash donations for various endeavors.

Headed by PLDT and Smart chairman Manuel V. Pangilinan, the PSF is now mainly involved with corporate social responsibility programs focused on six key areas: livelihood, social entrepreneurship and microfinance, education, disaster preparedness, youth, poverty alleviation and sports. All these endeavors are committed to one singular goal – that of fulfilling the needs and uplifting the quality of life of each and every Filipino.
