One of the strongest assets of the Putera Sampoerna Foundation is its ability to garner external support for its programs. By advocating and promoting strong public-private partnerships (PPP) both locally and internationally, the Foundation actively seeks the commitment of all interested stakeholders who share the vision.

Equipped with professional fund-raising capabilities and resources, PSF is able to harness the participation and financial support of the relevant government bodies, the private sector and other interest groups to support education programs which benefit the communities in which they operate. With its international networks and global reach, PSF is able to pull together all available resources to leverage economies of scale in order to make a bigger impact as well as to create more significant long-term results.

This year, 17 corporations, both local and multi-national, began their partnership with the Foundation in support of education. This raised the total number of corporate partners to over 165 stretching from South East Asia to Europe and the US. 2009 also saw 350 individuals who either contributed through donations or through active participation. Since its inception in 2001, the Foundation has been entrusted with more than US$ 56 in contributions.

The Sampoerna Foundation continues to believe that the challenges of education quality and access for underprivileged youths in Indonesia can only be resolved with the support and collaboration of partners and contributors.
