Find, help & empower

people in need

How We Work

Projects are the foundation of Philanthropy Connections. We take a two-steps approach to our project involvement.

STEP

01


First, we seek out community-driven initiatives started by local people to benefit their communities and improve their quality of life.


STEP

02



Second, we connect these projects with sponsors willing to fund these activities.


DONATE


As a small and dynamic organisation we ensure that your support has the most impact.


Whether it is a one-off or a recurring donation, or even a large contribution to fund a complete project.

GET INVOLVED


You can either become a sponsor or a donor. Sponsors choose to financially underwrite an entire project and donors choose to contribute to help sustain our operations, as well as, help found our projects as needed. Sponsors and donors can be individuals, families, organisations or businesses.

OUR MISSION


Philanthropy Connections was founded to help people in need. It is the common thread in all we do. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we work to positively change the lives of the less fortunate. Those who we assist find strength in the fact that people like you, our sponsors, help them to build a better future.

PCF Goodwill Ambassador


While the world is on fire with ego-fueled wars and conflict, manmade divisions, and unfortunate natural disasters, victimising so many innocent civilians, one might be tempted to lose hope in humanity. The Philanthropy Connections Foundation gives us back some hope for a better world with their many humanitarian contributions. Helping war-stricken communities and families in refugee camps to find peace and stability. Raising awareness about the importance of education for children in need to have a better chance in life. Working relentlessly with a team of professionals to ensure that people in need will prosper.


I myself am a direct result of the goodwill of humanitarians. As a newborn, my single mother and I fled the communists in Laos after my mom escaped from their prison to give birth to me. We found refuge in neighbouring Thailand in a refugee camp and were helped with kindness by humanitarians. We will always remain thankful. Now, I live an amazing life in Bangkok as a diplomat's spouse with three children and my husband, who is the Dutch Ambassador to Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. Life is good for us. But for so many families, life is at risk without the help of humanitarians.


PCF has been doing amazing humanitarian work for more than a decade now. Founder Sallo is someone who knows the art of giving so well. I admire him for having the biggest heart for people in need and doing the utmost to help make this world a better place. I am proud and humbled to say I am part of his team as a PCF goodwill ambassador. Our Dutch Ambassador family vouches for the great humanitarian work of PCF.
