When Sun Life established its roots in the Philippines, we made a commitment to help Filipinos achieve a sustainable future.
From world wars to building a nation, Sun Life in the Philippines led an illustrious history that bore witness to the struggles and triumphs of Filipinos.
It was in 1895, three years before the Republic of the Philippines was officially founded, when Sun Life first set foot in the country with the mission of giving Filipinos the opportunity to enjoy the humanitarian benefits of insurance. When it established its roots in colonial Manila, Sun Life made a commitment to help Filipinos achieve a sustainable future. Through world wars and economic downturns, Sun Life bore witness to a country’s journey towards financial prosperity and security. And for a nation that has nurtured the company for more than a century, it was finally time to give back.
In 1992, Sun Life started Sharing Hope and Resources for Education and Social Services or S.H.A.R.E.S. bringing together Sun Life volunteers who wanted to make a difference. Incorporated in 2007, the Sun Life Foundation became the culmination of our deep and collective desire to help alleviate the plight of those most in need. Here, our mission to create a Brighter World takes flight through different meaningful initiatives aimed towards nation-building –one individual, one family, one community at a time.
For Sun Life, a Brighter World ensures the future of generations while creating a prosperous present. Through Sun Life Foundation, Sun Life makes sure that no Filipino gets left behind.
We are a committed corporate foundation successful in sustaining community transformation initiatives.
To uplift the lives of Filipinos by providing financial resources, time and talents in support of education, good health, and a whole environment.
Sun Life Foundation provides grants to academic institutions and registered non-profit organizations to support their programs and enable them to serve more Filipinos in need.
The Foundation’s intended beneficiaries include, but is not limited to:
Vulnerable and disadvantaged individuals, specially but not limited to children and the youth, who lack access to basic education and healthcare

OUR PHILANTHROPIC PRIORITES
With the future in mind, Sun Life Foundation continues to shape the lives of hundreds of Filipinos by granting access to learning opportunities, innovative tools and enriching activities making sure they get a head start to a brighter tomorrow.
Health and wellness enable Filipinos to live brighter lives. Sun Life Foundation sets out to help the disadvantaged get access to the healthcare services they need. From basic nutrition to major surgeries, the Foundation makes sure Filipinos get the chance they deserve to live better and brighter.
Our philanthropic initiatives raise awareness for and directly combat environmental degradation. Clean-up drives and sustainability campaigns help future generations to make informed decisions, create climate-conscious communities, and enjoy a future without insecurity for natural resources.
Disasters often disproportionately impact low-income communities and marginalized groups that may have fewer resources to recover. Sun Life tailors many philanthropic efforts to address the specific needs of these vulnerable populations.
