FBANC has partnered with the Dagyaw Relief Network to support communities in need following the recent earthquakes in the Mindanao region of the Philippines.
To help maximize our impact, FBANC will match donations dollar-for-dollar up to a total of $5,000 USD through June 30, 2026.
Dagyaw Relief Network is mobilizing volunteers, churches, civil society organizations, and partner groups to deliver emergency relief packages to at least 10,000 families across the hardest-hit areas of Sarangani Province, General Santos City, and Davao Occidental. A donation of approximately $65 USD (₱3,720)* can provide a complete relief package for an entire family. That said, any contribution—big or small—is greatly appreciated. Your donation goes directly toward funding these coordinated relief missions. With FBANC's matching pledge, every dollar you give could mean double the support reaching families who have lost everything—so your generosity goes even further during this campaign.
*As of June 9, 2011, the Dagyaw Relief Network estimates that each family relief package costs 3,720 PHP. This pricing reflects PayPal’s currency conversion rate as of June 11, 2026 (1 USD = 58.4699 PHP).
