Since its inception in 2010, the PTC-CSJ Foundation has vigorously pursued its mission “to help propel social change” through various initiatives and projects.
After five years of operations, the Foundation has successfully received three critical certifications: a three-year certificate of registration with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) as a social welfare and development agency; a certificate of registration as a donee institution from the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR); and certification of donee institution status from the Philippine Council for NGO Certification (PCNC).
The PCNC certification, in particular, is widely regarded as a “seal of good housekeeping,” demonstrating that PTC-CSJ Foundation is an “NGO of good standing.” This recognition underscores the Foundation's adherence to the highest standards of accountability and program management.
Furthermore, the BIR registration as a donee institution provides donors with significant benefits, including exemption from donor’s tax and full deductibility of contributions from the donor’s income. This status encourages continued support for the Foundation’s diverse programs.
In addition to these national certifications, local partners have also noted the Foundation's impact. The Department of Education’s Division Office in Muntinlupa recognized the Foundation’s efforts by awarding it with a Gawad Pagpapahalaga during a ceremony held last May 22, 2015.
