Established in 1983 by its founders Henry Sy, Sr. and Felicidad T. Sy, the SM Foundation was created to help the less fortunate in the communities it serves by supporting their needs in education, health and community development as well promoting environmentally-conscious efforts and care for persons with special needs.
Through its programs, the Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life and give opportunities for positive change in urban and rural communities nationwide. Now, three decades later, SM Foundation continues to adhere to its philosophy of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE, serving more as SM builds more malls around the country.
