History
In 2001, tobacco heir Putera Sampoerna established the Putera Sampoerna Foundation (PSF). PSF is chaired by Michelle Sampoerna.

As of a 2012 press release, PSF has disbursed more than 34,600 scholarships, organized workshops for more than 19,000 teachers and headmasters, and adopted 23 public schools and 5 Islamic elementary schools (madrasah).

Putera Sampoerna Foundation established Sampoerna Academy (an international boarding high school), the Sampoerna School of Education, and the Sampoerna School of Business.

Ethical concerns have been raised about the foundation for its ties to the tobacco industry. The Foundation receives charity funds from Philip Morris International, which owns Sampoerna.

PSF has several business units: Koperasi Siswa Bangsa, Sampoerna Academies, School Development Outreach, Sahabat Wanita, Bait Al-Kamil, and MEKAR. The largest unit, constituting roughly one-half of all foundation personnel, is the foundation's university entitled Universitas Siswa Bangsa Internasional.
