At the recent 5th Asian Philanthropic Development Conference\, representatives from NGOs and philanthropic development offices (PDOs) called for government support\, funding\, sponsorship\, and investments\, and stronger cooperation from philanthropists\, the private sector\, and civil society to help build their resilience and the sustainability of their advocacies and services to those most affected by the pandemic. \nMeanwhile\, the Philippines is celebrating the quincentenary of the Roman Catholic Church in the country. In his message to the Filipinos for the Jubilee celebration of the 500 Years ofChristianity in the Philippines\, Pope Francis emphasized the importance of giving as a way to mark this unique milestone. “Renew your enthusiasm for evangelization. Reach out to others and bring them the hope and joy of the Gospel\,” he said. \nSocial enterprise Spring Rain Global (SRG) is responding to the Church’s call to give and the urgent need in the Philippines in light of the pandemic with the “500 Gifts for 500 Years” campaign. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn More!\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Calendar of activies\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n September 2021\n 08 – Holy Mass and Campaign Launch11 – Spring Rain Global18 – Bakhita Canossa Foundation Inc – PDO and San Pablo Apostol Parish\, Tondo Stewardship and Philanthropic Development Office25 – Diocese of San Carlos PDO \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n October 2021\n 02 – Lourdes School of Quezon City PDO and OFM Capuchins09 – Carmel Development Center PDO (Carmelite Sisters of Our Lady)16 – Order of Carmelites PDO23 – Claretian Missionary Sisters PDO30 – Diocese of Laoag PDO \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n November 2021\n 06 – Carmelite Missionaries PDO13 – Missionaries of the Assumption – Paglaum PDO20 – Passionist PDO (Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ)27 – Vincentian Foundation PDO \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n December 2021\n 04 –  The Camillian Fathers Foundation PDO11 –  Augustinian Sisters of Our Lady of Consolation PDO \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n About the Event\n The “500 Gifts for 500 Years” campaign is a platform organized by social enterprise Spring Rain Global (SRG) to help 14 Philippine-based philanthropic development offices (PDOs) raise funds to empower their workers who serve the most vulnerable.
