The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) will launch on February 18 its newest digital initiative to streamline the agency’s donation process.
The new website, Kaagapay Donations Portal, will serve as an online platform for donors to send their cash donations either to the DSWD for disaster relief operations and/or for in-kind and cash donations to DSWD centers and residential care facilities (CRCFs).
Social Welfare Assistant Secretary and spokesperson Irene Dumlao said the Kaagapay Donations Portal will enhance operational efficiency and overall donor experience.
“The Kaagapay Donations Portal integrates advanced functionalities that ensure real-time donations facilitation. Through the portal, donors will have the option to choose if they want to donate through online payment gateways or via logistics partners to personally deliver their
in-kind donations to our CRCFs,” Dumlao said on Friday.
The portal also links donations to DSWD-registered and licensed social welfare and development agencies (SWDAs), as well as to local government units (LGUs) engaged in humanitarian response during times of disasters and emergencies.
“The contact details of LGUs affected by disasters will be published on the website for more efficient donations coordination,” Dumlao said.
The launching of the Kaagapay Donations Portal at the Mall of Asia in Pasay City is part of the DSWD’s 74th-anniversary celebration next Tuesday with the theme, “Bawat Pamilyang Pilipino ay Mahalaga sa Bagong Pilipinas.”
