History
Megaworld Foundation, Inc. was established in 1999 as Megaworld Corporation’s socio-civic arm. It initially offered scholarship grants to students taking up Engineering and Architecture courses at the University of the Philippines and Mapua Institute of Technology, where it sponsored 70 scholars from first to fourth year. In 2000, it included the following schools in its scholarship program: University of Santo Tomas, University of the East, Far Eastern University, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila, and the Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
Since 1999, the Foundation has also given financial 
assistance and support to a variety of organizations that aim to promote social justice and improve the lives of Filipinos.
In 2005, it made the leadership grant part of its scholarship program as its way of supporting the country's future leaders. Leadership grants are given to students that excel both in their academic and extra-curricular activities.
In 2007, the Foundation partnered with DEPED’s Adopt-a-school Program and had a memorandum of agreement to support Raja Soliman High School and Jose Abad Santos High School. The Foundation has also been accredited to Philippine Council for NGO Certification. Last year, the Foundation became a member of Association of Foundations (AF). AF is a heterogeneous federation of foundations which aims to improve development work in the country by building its members’ capacities and by nurturing partnerships that will strengthen the network’s response to challenges and change.
