Tech Entrepreneur and Philanthropist Jerry Lopez Announces Global Expansion Plans for PhilSocial and Faithonomics

Tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Jerry Lopez has announced a new phase of global expansion for his ventures PhilSocial and Faithonomics, initiatives that aim to combine technology with social impact. The expansion includes new partnerships across North America, Latin America, and Asia, as well as Lopez’s participation at the Business and Philanthropy Forum 2025, scheduled for November 17–18 at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore.

The platform uses blockchain technology to allow people to earn rewards for engagement and direct those rewards toward charitable causes. The system, which Lopez calls a “giving ecosystem,” has reportedly reached over 250,000 members in more than 100 countries since its launch. The company’s recent milestones include being featured on the Nasdaq billboard in Times Square and winning the Social Impact Project of the Year award at AIBC Malta in 2021. Lopez said the platform’s goal is not to disrupt traditional social media but to restructure how value circulates online. “Our goal is to make generosity measurable,” he explained. “Every click, post, or interaction can be linked to a real-world impact. Technology can make that transparent and accessible.” Faithonomics: From Book to Global Movement Running parallel to PhilSocial’s growth is Faithonomics, a movement and book authored by Lopez that explores the connection between faith, finance, and purpose. Since its release, Faithonomics has been recognized by the LA Times, USA Today, and Indie Reader, highlighting its growing readership among entrepreneurs and community leaders. The book draws heavily on Lopez’s own experiences. Born in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, and raised by a single mother in Bayamón and later Chicago, Lopez began working in construction as a teenager. By nineteen, he was a licensed general contractor. By twenty-five, he had built a business empire in real estate and technology. But he has often said his greatest focus shifted from profit to purpose. “I didn’t just want to escape poverty,” Lopez said. “I wanted to destroy its mindset. I wanted to build a model that others could follow, where success isn’t measured only by wealth, but by how much you can give back.” Faithonomics, both a publication and a community platform, serves as a counterpart to PhilSocial, encouraging leaders to integrate ethical and spiritual principles into entrepreneurship. The movement has gained notable traction across the Americas, where Jerry Lopez recently traveled to Argentina and Paraguay as a special guest of leadership author John Maxwell . Invited as one of the thought leaders representing the Americas , Lopez shared his vision and mission with both PhilSocial and Faithonomics alike the principles of Faithonomics with business and faith-based communities across the region. A Forum for Global Engagement Lopez’s next appearance will be at the Business and Philanthropy Forum 2025 hosted by Alliance for Good in Singapore, an event that convenes policymakers, investors, and thought leaders across sectors. The forum will focus on four main themes: AI and Emerging Technology, Globalization and Geopolitics, Healthcare and Longevity, and Wealth and Capital. At the event, Lopez is expected to discuss how blockchain systems can democratize philanthropy by improving accountability in charitable transactions. The forum’s format, which includes keynote addresses and panel discussions, will provide an opportunity for participants to exchange insights on how technology can advance social development. Lopez views the gathering as a chance to align with organizations pursuing similar objectives . “When innovation and purpose meet, impact can be scaled responsibly,” he said. “Forums like this help align business growth with social responsibility across borders.” Community Partnerships and Regional Growth Beyond the conference stage, Lopez’s company has been forming partnerships to expand its reach at the community level. One of its newest collaborations is with Court Kingz, one of the largest community basketball organizations in the world. The partnership aims to connect digital giving with grassroots engagement by encouraging athletes and fans to support local causes through the PhilSocial app. PhilSocial LLC plans to continue its expansion through 2026, prioritizing regions with developing digital economies such as Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The company’s long-term strategy includes working with NGOs and educational institutions to integrate PhilSocial’s giving model into existing community programs. The platform’s architecture—based on blockchain verification and tokenized incentives—is designed to provide transparency for users tracking their donations and social engagement. Financially, PhilSocial LLC is currently valued at USD 1.2 billion, according to company statements provided in October 2025. The Lopez family self-funded the creation and growth of PhilSocial, joined by a small circle of friends and church members who supported the vision in its early stages by acquiring Philcoin, the platform’s utility token. To date, these combined contributions amount to roughly USD 37 million, fueling PhilSocial’s infrastructure, innovation, and global reach.. Internal data reviewed by the firm indicates that average monthly user engagement has risen steadily since 2023, with roughly 40 percent of active users contributing tokens to charitable projects through PhilSocial. Balancing Growth With Trust As PhilSocial expands across continents, Jerry Lopez faces a challenge familiar to many tech founders: how to grow rapidly without losing trust. Social platforms everywhere are under scrutiny for how they handle privacy, misinformation, and user data. Lopez believes his company’s model offers an alternative by tying participation to real-world impact rather than attention metrics. Industry observers note that this “impact-driven” approach is gaining traction, especially in regions where digital payments and social entrepreneurship are rising together. The question now is whether PhilSocial can maintain its credibility as it scales into new markets. Lopez is clear-eyed about the work ahead. Transparency, data protection, and accountability, he says, will determine whether the company’s mission can sustain global momentum. “We’re building systems that measure kindness the same way we measure clicks,” Lopez said. “That’s the future we’re investing in, a future where generosity becomes part of everyday digital life.”
