Dear Board of Trustees, Donors and Esteemed Members, 
I am pleased to present the President's Report for TGPMA HOP Foundation, Inc. since inception ending year 2023.  This report highlights the achievements, projects, and initiatives undertaken by our organization in line with our vision and mission.

 

Background and History

TGPMA HOP Foundation, Inc.(TGPMA HOP) is a non-profit organization established by graduates of the Philippine Military Academy. Our organization's advocacy is to uplift the quality of life of marginalized individuals in Philippine society and provide assistance to those affected by calamities.

The TGPMA HOP started from a simple act of charity inspired by the "suspended coffee" concept. It began as "Meals on Wheels," providing food packages and relief goods to impoverished Filipinos and other disadvantaged individuals. Over time, our organization has evolved and expanded its humanitarian activities to include projects aimed at helping those affected by natural calamities.
