Shine
Shine de Castro
Senior Fundraising and Development Manager

Born and raised in Tondo, Philippines, Shine has seen firsthand the different faces of poverty and how fighting it cannot be simply solved with money. Fueled by her passion to help uplift lives in underserved and economically disadvantaged communities, her different roles in various social enterprises in the Philippines allowed her to take part in more sustainable solutions to address the country’s social issues.

Shine develops and implements innovative strategies to attract and retain donors who are passionate about social impact. She builds meaningful relationships with individual supporters, corporations, and grant-making organizations to mobilize funds essential for program growth and sustainability. 

Her goal is to create a robust funding base that ensures long-term support for the migrant domestic worker community, empowering them to lead their own development and become agents of lasting change
