As part of its commitment to improve the quality of education, the Ramon Aboitiz Foundation Inc. (RAFI) seeks proposals for projects in Cebu Province to receive financial assistance from the RAFI Development Fund via RAFI’s Education Development Unit and the Dolores Aboitiz Children’s Fund (DACF).

Interested organizations must be Philippine-based registered or accredited non-profit or civil society organization, government or non-government organization, cooperative, social action center, community or people’s organization, civic and faith-based organization, academic institution, and business association or network.
