MALAYA INITIATIVE FOUNDATION

Malaya Initiative Foundation is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) public charity headquartered in Honolulu, Hawaii, focused on education reform in the Philippines. Founded in 2025, the foundation concentrates on developing critical thinking, clear communication, and civic engagement skills among Filipino youth through program investment, teacher training, and strategic partnerships. The organization launched with a multi‑year, evidence‑driven roadmap: an initial listening-and-learning phase (through 2027) to form local partnerships and design pilots, followed by phased program rollout and scale. Early activity includes co-investments in established Philippine education pilots and organizational development work that positions the foundation to begin program delivery in subsequent years. Malaya is donor-facing and accepts tax-deductible contributions (EIN: 41-2664655). Its publicly available filings for fiscal year 2025 report initial grant funding and governance policies consistent with a newly established operating charity.
