Established in 2002, Bigfoot Asia Pacific Foundation Inc. was created to manifest corporate social responsibility and to serve as a vehicle for the philanthropic works of its founder, Michael Gleissner.
Mr. Gleissner donated a substantial amount of his personal funds to help the most vulnerable and disadvantaged sector of society: the children. Realizing the importance of education in providing a better future for the community as a whole, Bigfoot Foundation was created to narrow the digital divide and to bridge the knowledge gap between high and low income families.
To realize its vision, Bigfoot Foundation started its collaboration with local agencies like the Department of Education (DepEd), to streamline its activities to better serve the needs of the education sector. As of 2008, the foundation has spent approximately USD1million in over 30 schools, benefiting thousands of students who, otherwise, would not have access to computers and the basic IT knowledge the learning centers provide.
Founded on its vision and fueled by the spirit of volunteerism among its staff, Bigfoot Asia Pacific proudly continues to undertake educational as well as other socio-civic and humanitarian outreach projects.
