Ayala Foundation earned top recognition at the 2026 CSR Guild Awards of the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF), with its disaster response initiative winning the Outstanding CSR Project in Disaster Resilience category and two other programs named finalists.

The winning program, Brigadang Ayala Relief & Rehabilitation Operations, mobilized 965 volunteers following the 2025 Cebu earthquake, contributing more than 8,600 volunteer hours to assist nearly 5,900 households through relief and long-term recovery efforts.

Meanwhile, CENTEX Digital Education – High Touch, High Tech was recognized as an education finalist for improving mathematics performance in public schools through adaptive digital learning, while Amorsolo: Chroma was named an arts and culture finalist for its accessible and interactive exhibition honoring National Artist Fernando Amorsolo.

Ayala Foundation President Tony Lambino dedicated the recognition to the organization's volunteers, partners and communities.

"We are deeply grateful to our partners and the communities we serve. Behind every program is a network of volunteers and organizations who contribute their time and expertise to a shared purpose," Lambino said.

The recognition comes as Ayala Foundation celebrates its 65th anniversary, marking more than six decades of work in education, community development, arts and culture, leadership development, and volunteerism.
