Through its partnership with GCash, CharityPhilippines.org (CPO)-the first charitable online crowdfunding platform in the country-proudly announces its adoption of QR Ph (QRPH), the national QR code standard of the Philippines, which is duly authorized by the Philippine Payments Management Inc. (PPMI) and operates in compliance with Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Circular 1055.
With this upgrade, donors can now give directly using their preferred bank or e-wallet app, including GCash, Maya and more than 30 participating financial institutions across the country. This makes giving faster and simpler, enabling more people to support causes they care about. QR Ph allows donors to scan only one QR code to give through almost any major bank or e-wallet app in the Philippines-no need for multiple codes or separate accounts.
A platform built to make giving easy
‘We aim to make giving easy,’ says Dr. Marjs Lavides, executive director of CharityPhilippines.org. ‘Our mission is to connect donors with projects they care about and work with other charities to help those in need. With QR Ph, donations become hassle-free because anyone with a major bank or e-wallet app can contribute instantly and securely.’
Wide range of causes, nationwide reach
Currently, CharityPhilippines.org hosts 130 active campaigns led by 53 nonprofit organizations from across the country. The platform features a diverse array of causes, including animal welfare, children and youth, disability, disaster response, education, internet connectivity, elderly care, environmental protection, health, human rights, support for Indigenous Peoples, poverty alleviation and youth development through sports.
100% of donations go to projects
Unlike many platforms, CPO does not charge platform or transaction fees. All transaction costs are shouldered by CPO, which means that 100% of every donation goes directly to the intended project-a core commitment.
