The Foundations for People Development (FPD) is a voluntary consortium of non-government organizations that have agreed to work together for greater effectiveness and synergy in undertaking genuine people development programs, laying emphasis on savings mobilization, values formation, entrepreneurial development, and business networking. The FPD was registered with the Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on December 7, 1993. The formation of the FPD way back in 1993 was inspired by a group of development professionals from the private sector, academe, and nongovernment organizations, who felt the compelling need to bond and join organizational resources to address poverty in the countryside. The pioneering commitments of those organizations gave birth to FPD. FPD’s unique contribution to countryside development has always been its values-based and practicum-oriented agriculture education and cooperative enterprises for farm families. In late 2006, FPD re-organized and revitalized to tackle more community-based enterprises of greater scope and intensity. The current members of FPD consortium are composed of the following NGOs: - ASCEND Foundation;
- Bais Family Farm Association;
- CRC Credit Cooperative; Daguiao Foundation;
- Institute for Solidarity in Asia;
- Institute for Corporate Directors;
- JEB Foundation;
- Pampamilyang Paaralan Pang agrikultura Inc. (PPAI);
- Parents for Education Foundation Inc. (PAREF);
- PAREF Southridge Employees Multi-purpose Cooperative;
- Rural Livelihood Productivity Center (RLPC);
- Sri Visayan Foundation;
- Total Reforestation for Economic and Ecological Sustainability (TREES) Consortium; and
- University Center Foundation
