About Initiate Global Foundation
Initiate Global Foundation (IGF) is the Philippines’ first Social Fintech Enterprise and the sustainability arm of Initiate PH, the world’s first all-in-one crowdfunding platform. We exist to empower individuals, communities, and purpose-driven creators to take part in building real, lasting social impact.
Through technology and collective action, IGF makes giving, supporting, and building causes easier, more transparent, and more meaningful. Our platform connects people to purpose—turning everyday generosity and bold ideas into measurable change that communities can feel and sustain.
At our core, we believe that impact should be accessible, not reserved for institutions or large organizations alone. Every Filipino should have the ability to give, support, and participate in shaping a better future.
What We Do
Initiate Global Foundation provides two core crowdfunding pathways that allow individuals and communities to take action in ways that align with their values and capacity.
iGive — Donation-Based Crowdfunding
iGive enables individuals, groups, and organizations to support causes and communities they care about through direct donations. It transforms compassion into action by making it simple to fund urgent needs, community initiatives, and social causes that improve lives.
Whether supporting health needs, education, disaster response, or community development, iGive provides a transparent and accessible way to create impact.
iStart — Rewards-Based Crowdfunding
iStart is designed for creators, innovators, and social entrepreneurs who want to bring ideas to life while giving supporters something meaningful in return. Through rewards-based crowdfunding, purpose meets possibility—allowing ideas, crafts, services, and social ventures to grow with community support.
Supporters don’t just contribute; they become part of the journey.
Our Mission
To mobilize technology, generosity, and partnerships to create inclusive pathways for social good—enabling individuals, organizations, and communities to fund, support, and scale initiatives that uplift lives, strengthen livelihoods, and address urgent social and environmental challenges.
As the sustainability arm of Initiate PH, Initiate Global Foundation advances donation- and rewards-based crowdfunding to ensure that impact reaches not only enterprises, but also communities and individuals facing life-altering circumstances.
Our Vision
A Philippines where every Filipino has the opportunity to give, to start, and to thrive, powered by accessible digital tools, collective action, and a culture of compassion.
We envision a future where social innovation and financial technology work hand in hand to build resilient communities, expand opportunities, and turn shared purpose into measurable impact.
