The seed that grew into the Feathers Project was planted during a night spent in the Sapang Palay slum in the Philippines. There, amidst soul-crushing poverty, our founder realized a simple but profound truth: the world needs charity, but it should be carried out through human contact, direct giving, and with integrity in its processes.
Feathers Project is dedicated to finding those who have fallen through the cracks—people living in dire conditions without any other form of assistance. Our mission is to connect them directly with donors, ensuring that every act of giving is personal, transparent, and impactful.
We call it the “Empathy, Charity, Gratitude” cycle—a natural flow that reminds us that we are all connected. Our work ensures that when you give, you see the impact firsthand, creating a chain of compassion that stretches across the globe.
As a corporate sponsor, your business can become a beacon of change for the most vulnerable communities in the Philippines. Your sponsorship provides direct charity supporting the poorest in the Philippines, offering hope and opportunity where it’s needed the most.
Every dollar you donate goes 100% to the beneficiaries—no overhead, no fees.
Most people when they see poverty have a desire to help. But many charitable organizations don’t provide the opportunity to interact directly with individual beneficiaries.
The beneficiary provides a feather to the sponsor as an expression of their gratitude – thus the name, Feathers Project.
At Feathers Project, we believe in building lasting partnerships with companies that share our commitment to making a meaningful difference.
Our unique model allows us to direct 100% of donations to those in need, thanks to the support of our Buy Forward partners.
Buy Forward companies are those that have permanently committed to giving a significant portion of their profits to worthy causes. When you see the Buy Forward logo, it means that the company’s owners have pledged at least 5% of their profits to charity for poverty relief in the Philippines.
This commitment is more than just an action; it’s a promise woven into the fabric of their business.
By partnering with Feathers Project as a Buy Forward company, you can align your business success with a mission to create positive change. Engage your employees through meaningful volunteer opportunities, donation-matching programs, and more. Together, we can empower communities and make a difference—one feather at a time.
Over time, Civicom, a Buy Forward company, discovered the power of this concept. They realized that as a unified movement, Buy Forward companies could engage corporations in creating a better world, in ways that are significant, impactful, and authentic.
At Feathers Project, trust is the cornerstone of meaningful charity. We believe that transparency and integrity are vital to our mission, which is why we have built a robust process that is as open as it is compassionate.
Feathers Project is proud to uphold a commitment to transparency and impact. Every penny of your donation goes directly to the beneficiaries we serve. Thanks to the generosity of our legacy sponsors, Civicom and TeamSpan, 100% of our administrative and operational expenses — including salaries — are fully covered.
Civicom is a portfolio of companies developed and grown from innovations mostly incubated internally through identifying and developing products that combine technology and human services in response to the interests of our customers and partners.
TeamSpan is your satellite workforce partner, specializing in building high-performing teams at a fraction of the cost for companies that want to utilize offshore resources to outsource their business process operations. TeamSpan has offices in New York, Manila, and Cebu, where over 400 employees collaborate to support industry leaders and startups alike.
This is made possible by our partnership with our corporate donors, Civicom and TeamSpan.
Their Buy Forward donations cover Feathers Project's day-to-day expenses including
administrative and bank fees.
