Since its founding in 1970, PBSP has efficiently managed PhP 5.5 billion in grants.

PBSP also manages the multi-billion Peso - Global Fund in support of the National TB program of the Department of Health.
Leading the way in the theory and practice of good corporate citizenship, PBSP has been influencing the Filipino business community to integrate CSR into their core businesses and advocating the strategy that collective engagements can lead to more sustainable impact.
