About Us

We are Gawad Kalinga USA, A non-profit organization based in Poway California that helps generate funds for relief and rebuild efforts as well as values formation to battle poverty in the Philippines. Gawad Kalinga in the Filipino language means to "Give Care"

VISION: “A world where the spirit of bayanihan lives.”

Bayanihan derives from the Filipino root word “bayan” (country or nation); it is the same root in the word “bayani” (hero). Loosely translated, therefore, Bayanihan is the spirit of communality that binds people together. It is this same spirit of caring, sharing, and helping that fuels the work of Gawad Kalinga: the belief that it is the collective acts of people which makes great and even heroic visions possible.

MISSION: “To inspire heroic action while rising to the challenge of nation-building — one person, one family, one community at a time.”

We partner with different organizations to reawaken the Bayanihan spirit of every Filipino and Filipino American in the United States.
