BPI Sinag evolves to achieve more inclusive and sustainable growth

BPI Foundation remains committed to be at the forefront of social entrepreneurship in the country through its Sinag program.

BPI Foundation, the social development arm of the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), officially launched the 8th iteration of its flagship program, BPI Sinag, which champions the social enterprise (SE) sector in the country. 

With this year’s theme: BPI Sinag Evolution, the program aims to elevate its impact and achieve inclusive and sustainable growth by implementing for the first time, a multi-stakeholder approach, highlighting three vital pillars: the social entrepreneurs, the educators, and the intervenors or sub-sectors. BPI Foundation has committed Php3 million worth of cash grants for these pillars this year.

BPI seeks entrepreneurs who uplift communities

BPI Foundation, in partnership with the Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSEnt) launched BPI Sinag today, a business plan competition aimed at empowering entrepreneurs with a social mission, at The Mind Museum in Taguig City.

Inclusive growth is the key to sustainable development at a time when the gap between rich and poor remains wide. Thus, BPI Sinag seeks to promote the active participation of the private sector through the development of more social enterprises as a means to create jobs and deliver basic services to those at the bottom of the pyramid.
