Target achieved.
The ArtFund/Philippine Eagle Foundation: "Fruits for Feathers" raised P450,000. The amount has been remitted to the recipient on December 20, 2021 via bank transfer.
For 2021, ArtFund/ has raised a total of P600,000 for the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF). The first project, "Flowers for Feathers", raised P150,000 in August, and this season, "Fruits for Feathers," raised three times the previous amount. According to Dennis Salvador, Executive Director of the PEF, ArtFund/ is the biggest fundraiser for the foundation this year.
No act of kindness is too small.
The success of the project is due to several components: the generosity of Davao talents: visual, graphic, handicraft and printing artists; and perhaps the most essential, people's faith that the Philippine eagle's population will flourish, to do what they can to break the chain that links the bird to extinction.
In saving the country's National Bird, we have the PEF and the Philippine Eagle Center (PEC) to thank for. Their relentless efforts to save the species and multiply its number is truly remarkable. Case in point, the hatching of a Philippine eagle egg on December 4 - that's amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It marks the 29th successfully bred chick at the PEC.

Mention the Philippine eagle as the recipient of a fundraiser and those who believe in the cause will nod instantly. This is why the Fruits for Feathers project was able to raise a generous amount from its inception in October 15, when pledges started to pour in, to reaching the target amount in mid-December, a month after the printed limited edition art cards were released.
"As the year 2021 draws to a close, the lingering effects of the pandemic continue to haunt the Philippine Eagle Center. Funds have been difficult to come by as visitor traffic trickled down at 4%. It was indeed truly heartwarming to receive everyone’s help especially to those who participated in the “Fruits for Feathers” fundraiser project. Thanks so much to the organizer, artists and donors who supported this cause. We appreciate your partnership- happy holidays!." says Dennis Salvador.
Together with the Philippine Eagle Foundation, ArtFund/ would like to flutter its wings to show its gratitude to those who believed in the project.
