The Conrado Ladislawa Alcantara Foundation, Inc. (Alcantara Foundation) was named a Finalist in the Outstanding CSR Project for Arts and Culture category at the 2026 CSR Guild Awards, held on June 30, 2026, at The Westin Manila in Mandaluyong City. The recognition honors the Foundation’s corporate social responsibility initiative in partnership with Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev).
The award highlights the collaborative efforts of Alcantara Foundation and Alsons Dev to advance Davao City’s creative sector. Among the project’s key achievements is the 2025 Culture, Arts, and Heritage Summit, which brought together more than 300 artists, cultural practitioners, and representatives from government, academia, and the private sector. The summit served as a platform to identify the industry’s priorities, develop collaborative strategies, and foster a more supportive environment for the growth of the local creative community.
The CSR Guild Awards, a recognition program of the League of Corporate Foundations (LCF), honors corporate social responsibility initiatives and collaborations of its member organizations across the country 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.”
The Alcantara Foundation serves as the corporate social responsibility arm of the Alcantara Group, with Alsons Development and Investment Corporation (Alsons Dev) among its member companies. Through the Foundation, Alsons Dev carries out its CSR initiatives based on the belief that sustainable community development goes beyond building physical spaces. It also involves promoting and preserving culture, the arts, and heritage to strengthen local identity, encourage greater cultural appreciation, and inspire pride within communities.
