Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc (JVOFI) was founded by Benguet Corporation, the Philippines’ oldest mining company, on December 17, 1980. Formerly known as BenguetCorp Foundation, Inc., its creation was inspired by the late Jaime V. Ongpin, the company’s first Filipino president, who envisioned the development of self-reliant communities.
The Foundation adopts the Strategic Area Management approach with a well defined geographic focus. As such, the Foundation currently supports projects in selected areas in Northern Luzon. Its core programs are Enterprise Development, Ecological Enhancement, Internal Capacity-Building and Resource Generation.
