The UP Engineering Research and Development Foundation, Inc. (UPERDFI) proudly presents its 2024 Annual Report. In a year marked by robust financial performance and strategic breakthroughs, the Foundation successfully mobilized ₱60 million in donations and deployed ₱52 million across critical faculty, student, infrastructure, and R&D programs.
Moving forward into 2025, UPERDFI is redefining its role—evolving from a traditional funder into a visionary catalyst for social investments, institutional capacity building, and socially equitable innovations in partnership with the UP College of Engineering.
“This evolution necessitates that UPERDFI itself evolve… We must move beyond the perception of being merely a funder and solidify our position as a driving force behind meaningful research.” — Angelito D. Bermudo, President, UPERDFI
