Metro Infanta Foundation was able to fulfill its mission.
The Foundation‘s IRS & Finance Report FY18-19 shows that Metro Infanta Foundation has enough donations to distribute grants. This year’s collection included donations for the first Asian Pacific Stewardship Conference in the Philippines, in cooperation with the International Catholic Stewardship Council and Socio Pastoral Institute.
As usual since FY 1996-1997, Auditor Romy Coronacion submitted the IRS & Finance Report FY18-19 in a timely manner.
First Asian Pacific Stewardship Conference
Meanwhile, thanks to all our donors who make it possible for Metro Infanta Foundation to address concerns in Metro Infanta and beyond. A significant amount of the FY18-19 grants has gone towards funding the very successful first Asian Pacific Stewardship Conference. Nearly 200 delegates, including bishops, clergy and lay leaders to learn about stewardship as a way of life attended the conference. The Foundation has made stewardship and sustainability of the “Church of the Poor” among its focus in grant distribution.
The IRS & Finance Report FY18-19 shows that with generous donors, the Foundation also
allowed poor parishes to attend the conference.
