The Organisation
Plan International Pilipinas is a girl-centered community-focused non-government organization, serving the Philippines for the last 64 years.
We are a newly locally registered Foundation, connected to 80+ Plan International offices worldwide.

We have 30,000 sponsored children and 2.5 million program participants, co-creating lasting impact especially for girls.
In 2023, the organization formally transitioned to strengthen its local presence and build stronger domestic fundraising capacity.
As part of this transition, Plan International Pilipinas is expanding its Local Resource Mobilization (LRM) work to support financial sustainability, localization, and country ownership. This includes building partnerships with local institutions, growing individual giving, engaging alumni, and developing innovative fundraising initiatives such as Plan‑branded merchandise. All of these are guided by strong ethical fundraising and safeguarding standards.

The role focuses on building relationships with Philippine‑based corporations, foundations, government agencies, and networks and supporting individual giving, alumni engagement, and merchandise‑based fundraising.
