The Lingkod sa Kapwa Pilipino (LINKAPIL) Program or Link for Philippine Development seeks a broader and deeper partnership between overseas Filipinos and Filipinos on the home country based on a common desire to promote the collective good of people and contribute to national development.

Conceptualized by CFO in 1989, LINKAPIL was developed as a mechanism to tap the resources of overseas Filipinos to support education, health and welfare, livelihood, and small-infrastructure projects. Assistance through the LINKAPIL Program may be monetary or in-kind, in the form of donations, grants or subsidies.

LINKAPIL projects are fully documented and closely monitored by CFO through a monitoring and feedback mechanism. This program feature aims to encourage transparency and boost confidence among all parties involved in the project.
