BDO Foundation was founded in 2008 as the corporate social responsibility arm of BDO Unibank, the largest bank in the country.

A non-stock, non-profit organization, the foundation develops and implements programs to address the needs of the underserved and contribute to addressing social problems. It also serves as the channel for BDO’s outreach and giving back initiatives.

They are an active member of the NGO community. BDO Foundation is duly accredited by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) and Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC). They  are also a member of the Association of Foundations (AF) and League of Corporate Foundations (LCF).

Recognition from these agencies and organizations is significant as it affirms the foundation’s status as a non-profit organization that meets standards of good governance, program relevance and effectiveness, sound financial management, credibility, transparency and accountability. The accreditation and recognition also pave the way for greater collaboration between the foundation, donors and government agencies. It enables us to do their work more effectively.

BDO Foundation’s initiatives fall under two program pillars: (1) disaster response, rehabilitation and rebuilding; and (2) financial inclusion.
