The SFK Foundation officially launched its second national fundraising initiative, "Study Fund Konnect Activities," in June 2024. Having obtained its Permit to Solicit (DSWD-SB-SP-00023-2024) from the Department of Social Welfare and Development, this campaign aims to raise funds to support the monthly stipends of 38 scholars and provide enriching activities that promote their academic, social, emotional, and spiritual growth.
Building on the success of the first fundraising project in 2022, which helped SFK secure local funding from donors and companies, the current campaign will run until February 2025. Funds raised from the previous project were used to finance a team-building event for the scholars in January 2024.
The primary goals of "Study Fund Konnect Activities" include:
1. Providing an adequate Student Finance Kit for scholars from low-income backgrounds.
2. Supporting activities that foster cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual growth for scholars facing financial hardship.
The initiative features four key activities:
1. Student Finance Kit – Financial support to ensure scholars can meet essential academic needs.
2. Mental Health Seminar – A program aimed at promoting emotional well-being.
3. Educational Field Trip – An opportunity for experiential learning beyond the classroom.
4. Christmas Party – A festive gathering to strengthen community bonds.
SFK has begun distributing carefully crafted solicitation letters to potential donors and companies, actively seeking partnerships and support from alumni and partner organizations to achieve the target of PHP 1,676,000. The foundation hopes to continue empowering its scholars through these meaningful and developmental activities.
