Who We Are

Feathers Project is a non-profit dedicated to finding the poorest of the poor in the Philippines, those who have fallen through the cracks—people living in dire conditions without any other form of assistance. Our mission is to ensure 100% direct charity. We do this with a small team that goes into the most poverty darkened communities in search of those in the greatest need of charity, and we provide the sponsors donations to them—directly.

Feathers Project is mostly funded by partner companies whose employees become volunteers to ensure integrity in the process. We emphasize disciplined processes, transparency, and audits to ensure that we do not wander from the mission.
