The Conrado Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation, Inc., in partnership with Alsons Development and Investment Corporation, was named a Finalist in the Outstanding CSR Project for Arts and Culture category at the 2026 CSR Guild Awards. The awards ceremony took place on June 30, 2026, at The Westin Manila in Mandaluyong City.
Recognition for Strengthening Davao’s Creative Sector
The recognition highlights the joint corporate social responsibility initiative aimed at bolstering Davao City’s creative industry. A key achievement was the 2025 Culture, Arts, and Heritage Summit, which brought together over 300 artists, cultural workers, and representatives from government, academe, and the private sector. The summit served as a multi-stakeholder platform to identify sector needs, co-develop strategies, and foster an enabling environment for creative growth.
CSR Guild Awards Honor Meaningful Impact
The CSR Guild Awards, organized by the League of Corporate Foundations, celebrate CSR initiatives and collaborations among member organizations nationwide that drive meaningful and sustainable social impact.
“This recognition affirms something we have long believed—that culture is not peripheral to development; it is central to it,” said Miguel Rene A. Dominguez, President and CEO of Alsons Dev. “We remain committed to creating opportunities for partnerships across sectors because lasting progress is built when we nurture communities that are both livable and culturally vibrant.”
Alcantara Foundation’s Role in Community Development
The Alcantara Foundation serves as the CSR arm of the Alcantara Group, which includes Alsons Dev. Through the foundation, Alsons Dev advances its CSR agenda based on the belief that meaningful community development extends beyond physical spaces. It includes efforts to celebrate and preserve culture, arts, and heritage, thereby strengthening local identity, deepening cultural appreciation, and fostering community pride.
