Want to Help Make a Difference?
Whether you're an individual, student, church group, or business — you can be part of changing lives.
At Shepherd’s Arms Foundation of the Philippines, we rely on the generosity and creativity of people like you to help provide vulnerable children and struggling communities with the care, support, and hope they deserve. Fundraising is a powerful way to get involved — and it can be fun, meaningful, and deeply rewarding.
You don’t have to be an expert or have a huge following — just a willing heart and a desire to make an impact. Whether you run a marathon, host a bake sale, or donate your birthday, every dollar raised helps provide food, education, medical care, and shelter for those in need.
Below are some great fundraising ideas to get you started. Choose one that suits your passions, gather your friends, and let's bring hope — together.
