Jollibee Group Foundation

What Jollibee Group Foundation does

Jollibee Group Foundation (JGF) is the corporate social development and CSR arm of Jollibee Group, one of Asia's fastest-growing restaurant companies. Established in 2004 and headquartered at the 6/F Jollibee Plaza Building in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, the foundation operates as a non-profit rather than a commercial entity. It runs community-based programs across four pillars — agro-entrepreneurship, education, disaster response, and food security — primarily serving Filipino smallholder farmers, public schoolchildren, underprivileged youth, and disaster-affected communities. JGF is funded through corporate social responsibility contributions from Jollibee Group rather than through commercial revenue.

JGF's operational portfolio centers on four named programs. The Farmer Entrepreneurship Program (FEP) connects smallholder farmers to markets through training and supply linkages. The ACE Scholarship Program supports underprivileged youth in Cebu with educational access and employability training. The Busog, Lusog, Talino (BLT) School Feeding Program operates Central Kitchens in partnership with the Philippine Department of Education to deliver nutritious meals to public school students under the national school feeding initiative. Jollibee Group FoodAID delivers emergency food assistance during natural disasters. Beyond program delivery, JGF operates the Danao Commissary in Cebu, a sustainability-focused production facility employing approximately 500 workers with plans to scale to 800; the facility runs on 99% renewable energy supplied by First Gen through geothermal and on-site solar and incorporates 31 sustainability initiatives under the Joy for Tomorrow agenda, with over 60% of its workforce hired locally.

JGF's go-to-market motion is community-led. Programs reach beneficiaries through direct implementation, farmer networks, educational institutions, and government partnerships rather than traditional commercial sales channels. Participation is offered at no cost to beneficiaries. The foundation communicates via its official website (foundation.jollibeegroup.com), annual accomplishment reports published from 2016 through 2024, a 20th-year commemorative milestone publication, and a Get Involved collaboration channel for prospective partners and donors. In 2024, JGF published its 20th milestone report marking two decades of operations, and the foundation holds an NPC Seal Certification 2026 from the Philippine National Privacy Commission demonstrating data privacy compliance for its digital operations.
