Gerry Roxas Foundation
T
he Gerry Roxas Foundation (GRF) is one of the oldest foundations in the
Philippines. It was founded by the late Senator Gerry Roxas in 1958. Over
the years, as its organizational competencies grew, GRF evolved into
a premier social development institution with programs in Leadership
Development, Barangay Justice, Community Outreach, and Governance.
For more than 12 years, GRF has been a recipient of various financial and
technical awards from local and international partners. In recognition to its
major role as technical service provider to civil society organizations, on August
2013, USAID awarded GRF a 5-year contract to manage a grant-making facility
for non-state institutions through the Philippine-American Fund project. Under
the Fund, GRF works with non-state institutions to implement local initiatives
on economic growth, governance, education, biodiversity conservation, and
anti-trafficking in persons.
GRF is accredited as a donee institution by the Philippine Council for NGO
Certification (PCNC) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG). It is also affiliated with the
LoGoTRI-PhilNet, Association of Foundations, CODE-NGO, Australian Agency for
International Development (AusAID) and Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA).

GRF customized a model using culturally-sensitive
modes of dispute resolution among multi-ethnic
groups of BJAs to promote peace. After 12 years,
the BJP model in Mindanao has been assessed
as a speedy, inexpensive, culturally-responsive
alternative dispute resolution mechanism that
prevented community conflicts from escalating into
violence.
•
In 2011, GRF became an accredited service
provider of the Local Government Academy for the
Foundation’s barangay justice training modules.
With the increasing demand for training from
LGUs that have not been served by the Project,
GRF shall continue its work in conflict affected
areas to help reduce violent conflicts and promote
community peace through the BJAs. By design,
local government units and resource partners are
engaged in all phases of the Program to sustain the
gains in conflict reduction.

BARANGAY JUSTICE
The Barangay Justice Program (BJP) promotes
governance and rule of law through community
participation and citizen empowerment.
Under the Program, GRF mobilizes and trains
community-endorsed citizen volunteers called
Barangay Justice Advocates (BJAs) on mediation,
peace counseling and various aspects of the law.
As a peace advocate, a BJA facilitates the conflict
settlement process appropriate to the nature of the
dispute between parties to prevent conflict from
escalating into violence.
•

JAs helped resolve disputes most of

which would have escalated into violence if
unresolved
Enhanced role of women mediators as active
catalysts of peace in the community
With funding from USAID, the Program started in Panay
Island in 1998 to improve access to justice of high-risk
families particularly of women and children who are
victims of domestic violence.
In 2002, GRF responded to the call for BJP expansion
in Mindanao initially starting in the ARMM and later
on expanding to other conflict affected areas to help
address community conflicts.

COMMUNITY
OUTREACH
The Community Outreach program focuses on
creating opportunities to improve the quality
of life of selected communities. These include
support to Kalusugan Pangkalahatan Program of
the Department of Health, corporate partnership
building for community outreach, disaster
management response and engagement of
GRLAs for community development. Since
2003, GRF has worked with USAID, CIDA, and
DOH for the implementation of health projects
nationwide.
GRF also extends disaster assistance through
relief and reconstruction activities. The
Foundation has assisted family victims of
Habagat in Quezon City, Typhoon Sendong and
Pablo in Mindanao, and Super Typhoon Yolanda
in Capiz and Iloilo.
GRF’s major donor in its relief operations is the
J. Amado Araneta Foundation. Others who have

Local Governance envisioned to capacitate local
governments for responsive and participatory
governance in partnership with civil society.
GRF trained LGUs and NGOs in areas of Strategic
Planning, Budgeting, Customer Service
Relations, and Barangay Development Planning.
As an accredited provider of the Technology
of Participation (TOP) training module, it has
conducted TOP training sessions in Indonesia
and Thailand for Local Chief Executives and
private institutions.
Today, GRF continues to promote good
governance among public and private sector
partners to encourage transparency and
accountability. Its focus is on conduct of
research studies, facilitating multi-sectoral
dialogues and development of leadership
training modules for the youth to improve
governance.

His passion for democratic and economic reforms manifested
right from the beginning of his twenty-five years in public
service. He authored major bills that championed the cause of
the masses, among them, the opportunity for free education to
the underprivileged youth and the construction of tenements
for the poor and the homeless. He also authored a bill on
environmental planning and natural resources. Senator Gerry
tirelessly worked for the eventual restoration of democratic
processes in the country, a dream he did not live to see.
He passed away on April 19, 1982.
