PT Bank Negara Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (BNI) demonstrates its commitment to national education development by supporting the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB) Sustainable Fund program. This support comes through sponsorship as well as active participation in the series of activities for the wondr ITB Ultra Marathon 2025.
BNI Institutional Banking Director Eko Setyo Nugroho stated that this support is not only limited to the sports aspect, but also carries the mission of educational philanthropy.
BNI is proud to be a part of this noble effort. "We are not only present as a supporting partner for sports events, but also participating in the educational philanthropy movement embodied through the ITB Sustainable Fund," said Eko in a written statement.
ITB Sustainable Fund is a sustainable initiative managed by the ITB Sustainable Fund and Business Management Agency (BPUDL). This program serves as a platform for alumni, partners, and the wider community to work together to ensure the sustainability of higher education in Indonesia.
As part of the wondr ITB Ultra Marathon 2025 series, the public can donate directly to the ITB Sustainable Fund through the wondr by BNI application, which is connected to the inspirasiberbagi.itb.ac.id platform. This mechanism facilitates public participation in supporting access to education.
Eko added that the ITB Sustainable Fund aligns with BNI's vision to support the sustainability of higher education, which has provided scholarships to more than 2,000 students over the past five years. The funds are also used to support research, academic activities, student affairs, and other educational support facilities.
"BNI believes that the sustainability of higher education is a crucial foundation for national progress. Through our collaboration with ITB, we hope that more young people will have the opportunity to pursue quality education, while strengthening Indonesia's contribution to the global arena," Eko concluded.
With this spirit, the Wondr ITB Ultra Marathon 2025 is expected to be not only a celebration of sports, but also a tangible proof of the synergy between the business world, education, and society in creating a better future through education.
