MPI Foundation’s (MPIF) strategic programs have evolved throughout its thirteen years of existence, now geared towards four fronts of Social Infrastructure: 1) Education, 2) Environment, 3) Economic Empowerment, and 4) Calamity Response & Relief Operations. In line with Metro Pacific Investments Corporation’s (MPIC) commitment to nation-building and its pledge to improve the lives of the Filipino people, MPIF seeks to be the heart of MPIC’s efforts in infrastructure development by empowering and uplifting the most vulnerable sectors.
MPIF is committed to implementing its programs to benefit both communities, organizations, families, and individuals in areas which MPIC portfolio companies operate, as well as areas outside its immediate business interests. As MPIC continues to progress and expand, MPIF will likewise resume its involvement in transformative legacy projects and contribution towards institutionalizing impactful, sustainable programs.
