History
It started with the legacy of Don Ramon Aboitiz who gave donations to needy communities and various groups. The act of philanthropy has been continued by the heirs since then.
In 1988, the Aboitiz Foundation became its arm in helping move the social and economic development needs of the marginalized members of the society but it focused only on education, enterprise development, environment and health and wellbeing although they are always ready to send some kindness to anyone in need in times of calamities.
However, the foundation carefully selects projects that would help further and make it possible to reach its goals moving forward.

Other programs
With the partnership of the Department of Education (DepEd), the foundation also gives financial assistance to students wanting to study under the Special Science and Technical Vocational Education. The Aboitiz Foundation created the Special Science Elementary Schools (SSES) and Technical-Vocational (TechVoc) high schools.
Special Science Elementary Schools (SSES)
The SSES curriculum provides enriched Mathematics and Science studies but emphasizes on longer teaching time for Science. Students are given laboratory rooms, science apparatuses, and equipment, ICT-based learning resources, as well as science, math, English textbooks, and supplementary materials.
Technical Vocational Education (TechVoc)
TechVoc was created by the Aboitiz Foundation as an alternative solution for high school students who don’t have the means and lack the ability to pursue a college education. It includes teaching skills students may need to find employment or even part-time work so they may be able to continue and support further studies.
TechVoc students are provided either newly constructed or refurbished workshop rooms, reference books, tools and equipment.
