CORPORATE RESOURCES FOR LOCAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE PHILIPPINES<br />
organization chose to create an endowment and how it was created; how the endowment is<br />
invested and managed; the challenges the organization continues to address with its endowment;<br />
and the success factors that other organizations could potentially incorporate into<br />
their fundraising strategies.<br />
The second study analyzes similar issues based on the experience <strong>of</strong> the Indonesian<br />
Biodiversity Foundation (known by its Indonesian acronym, KEHATI), an organization<br />
originally endowed through foreign government development assistance. The third case<br />
study is on Dian Desa in Indonesia and explores that organization's earned income approach<br />
to building financial sustainability.<br />
It is our hope that this case study will be used as a learning tool by other organizations in<br />
the Philippines and elsewhere in the world that are interested in learning more about the<br />
role <strong>of</strong> endowments in creating financial sustainability as well as specific opportunities and<br />
challenges associated with creating and growing an endowment. The Jaime V. Ongpin<br />
Foundation is an interesting case that not only highlights the challenges <strong>of</strong> endowment<br />
building but <strong>of</strong>fers a perspective on early corporate social responsibility in the Philippines.<br />
<strong>Synergos</strong> grate<strong>full</strong>y acknowledges the financial support <strong>of</strong> the Sasakawa Peace Foundation,<br />
the time and input <strong>of</strong> the staff and board <strong>of</strong> the Jaime V. Ongpin Foundation, Inc., and Ernie<br />
