  • Comment: Using words like "history and inspiration", constantly bolding the name of the charity and the general tone make the draft read like an advert or the organisation's own website. You need to tone it down and use more neutral language. MarcGarver (talk) 12:12, 13 November 2024 (UTC)

CharityPhilippines.org (CPO), is an online crowdfunding platform in the Philippines, connecting global donors with various humanitarian projects and charities within the country[1][2]. Launched as the first such platform in the Philippines[3], CPO enables individuals to contribute to vetted causes without transaction fees[4], ensuring that donations reach their intended beneficiaries directly.

Overview

[edit]

CharityPhilippines.org offers donors a range of causes to support, spanning poverty alleviation, disaster response[5], healthcare, education, animal welfare, environmental protection, and assistance for vulnerable groups, including women, children, persons with disabilities (PWDs), and the elderly. Since its inception, CPO has raised funds for over 40 NGOs and supported nearly a hundred charitable projects in the Philippines[3]. The platform provides a streamlined interface where donors can view various causes and select projects aligned with their personal advocacies[6] .

History

[edit]

The platform originated from the 101 Foundation, Inc., a non-profit organization founded in 2012[7], focused on providing scholarships, sponsoring projects, and distributing gifts during the Christmas season. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of accessible online support for vulnerable communities, prompting the foundation to expand into a digital platform, now known as CharityPhilippines.org. This transition aimed to consolidate various charitable projects in one accessible location, allowing donors to contribute to multiple causes in a single transaction[8].

Features and Operations

[edit]

CharityPhilippines.org operates under the management of 101 Foundation, Inc., which is registered with and licensed by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD)[9] in the Philippines. This regulatory oversight underscores the organization’s commitment to transparency[10] and ethical standards in fundraising and donations[11][12].
