Since 2009, the Bayanihan Foundation Worldwide has been working to promote the quality of life in the Philippines and contribute to positive social change. We are dedicated to building strategic and thoughtful partnerships with like-minded organizations in the United States and at home, expanding broad and diaspora giving, and promoting awareness of the rich culture and history of the Philippine Islands.
The Bayanihan Foundation does not currently accept unsolicited proposals. It plans to support the long-term legacy projects it has invested for the last 10 years:
- Supporting educational and community projects in Giporlos, Samar, in honor of the late Evelyn Castillo, the foundation’s long-time Philippine Liaison
- Supporting educational projects in Iligan City, Mindanao, and elsewhere in the Philippines in honor of Dr. Vicente Saavedra and Mrs. Luz Saavedra, the foundation’s long-time supporters
- Supporting youth development and environmental sustainability projects in Cebu City, Cebu
- Supporting abandoned and neglected children at risk in General Santos City, Mindanao, and helping them build a future for themselves
The Bayanihan Foundation also plans to support local Filipino community organizations in the US that promote its vision of long-term sustainability and growth for Filipinos in the US and at home.
The Bayanihan Foundation continues its vision of ensuring long-term sustainable growth, decreasing poverty rates in the Philippines through a sustainability plan, decreasing the economic push to migrate, and increasing the circular migration rate.
