The Ayala Foundation Inc. (AFI) serves as the socio-cultural development arm of the Ayala Group of Companies. Through various social development and cultural programs, the Foundation works to fulfill the needs of the whole person, firmly believing in the human being as less of an object of charity than a cause for celebration.

Col. Joseph McMicking and his wife, Mercedes Zobel in 1961, established the Foundation. Then called the Filipinas Foundation, it was primarily dedicated to technical and vocational education, social science and research, livelihood and the arts. In the 1990s, it was renamed Ayala Foundation.

Through its divisions, the present Foundation moves along a holistic response to the complex needs of the Filipino. AFI’s divisions include the following: Ayala Young Leaders Congress (AYLC), Center for Social Development (CSD), Center for Excellence in Elementary School Education (CENTEX), Ayala Museum, and Filipinas Heritage Library.

Today, the Ayala Foundation is also working to extend the benefits of recent technological developments to a greater number of men, women and children. Through these new technologies, the Foundation continues to work for the cultivation of Filipino ingenuity and talent, as well as the preservation of our rich culture, history and traditions.
