BingoPlus Foundation, the social development arm of DigiPlus Interactive, has secured a ₱150 million grant aimed at expanding its community initiatives across the Philippines.
Since its establishment, the foundation has focused on long-term, community-driven programs centered on education, healthcare, resilience, and responsible digitalization. In 2024 alone, its initiatives reached more than 120,000 Filipinos through a mix of core programs and targeted interventions.
The latest funding follows a series of recognitions for the foundation’s FutureSmart Program, which earned a Silver Anvil at the 59th Anvil Awards and a Gold Stevie Award at the 2024 APAC Stevie Awards. The program has supported over 5,200 individuals through technology-focused education, including IT scholarships for high-potential students, leadership development under the PLUS Factor initiative, and the rollout of robotics and programming tools in public schools. In collaboration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development, persons with disabilities were also provided with vocational training in digital skills and computer-based work.
Healthcare access remains another key focus. Through its KalusuganPLUS Program, the foundation has supported more than 30,000 Filipinos by providing vaccines, medicines, diagnostic services, and eye care. It has also contributed to improving sanitation and access to clean water for over 18,000 residents in Bulacan, Cebu, and General Santos, while supplying medical equipment to public health facilities and supporting home care for senior citizens.
In terms of disaster response and livelihood support, the KabuhayanPLUS Program has reached over 82,000 individuals. The initiative has delivered timely assistance to communities affected by typhoons, volcanic eruptions, and other crises, with more than ₱40 million allocated to relief efforts. Beyond immediate aid, the program also promotes long-term recovery through livelihood support and skills training, including targeted assistance for solo parents and vulnerable groups.
BingoPlus Foundation also works closely with DigiPlus Interactive’s platforms—BingoPlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone—to promote responsible digital behavior. Campaigns such as “Pusta de Peligro” and “Tamang Laro, Tamang Panalo” aim to raise awareness around responsible gaming, offering education on recognizing harmful patterns, providing basic psychological support, and encouraging financial discipline among players.
With the additional ₱150 million investment, the foundation is set to scale its reach further, including expanding its Make-A-Wish Project, which has already benefited more than 2,300 individuals across 37 cities in 20 provinces.
“Through this investment, we aim to deepen our impact and build stronger collaborations that deliver meaningful results,” said Angela Camins-Wieneke, Executive Director of BingoPlus Foundation. “From nurturing future talent to strengthening community resilience, we remain committed to creating lasting value for Filipinos.”
