HODL&SHARE Giving Report to iVolunteer Philippines
Donation to iVolunteer Philippines – iVolunTree Project
December 2025 | Amount: ₱25,000
In December 2025, HODL&SHARE continued its commitment to uplifting grassroots organizations in the Philippines by supporting the iVolunTree Christmas initiative of iVolunteer Philippines. Through a donation of ₱25,000, our giving circle contributed to a campaign rooted in hope, volunteerism, and community solidarity—an annual tradition that brings together generous individuals and organizations to fulfill the Christmas wishes of partner NGOs serving vulnerable communities.
About iVolunteer Philippines
Founded in 2009 in the aftermath of Typhoon Ondoy, iVolunteer Philippines emerged from a simple yet powerful realization: thousands of Filipinos were eager to help, but lacked a clear pathway to connect with organizations in need. Since then, iVolunteer has grown into a national platform that bridges volunteers and NGOs, enabling meaningful engagement across advocacies such as education, environmental conservation, health, and social welfare.
In 2025 alone, iVolunteer mobilized 11,762 volunteers, facilitated 1,106 volunteer events, and generated 358,830 hours of service—a testament to the enduring strength of the Filipino spirit of bayanihan. Supporters also contributed ₱382,580 in donations, empowering NGOs to continue their vital work in communities nationwide.
About the iVolunTree Project
The iVolunTree campaign is iVolunteer’s annual Christmas initiative designed to fulfill the wish lists of selected NGOs. Born during the pandemic as a gesture of gratitude to organizations that persevered through hardship, iVolunTree has since become a cherished tradition of giving, collaboration, and community care. In 2025, the campaign supported 12 NGOs, each with specific needs that directly benefit the communities they serve—from educational materials and food packs to multimedia equipment and volunteer support.
