Annual Fundraisers

Starfish Bracket Challenge

Each March, we organize a friendly online competition for Starfish supporters to make predictions on U.S. college men's and women’s basketball teams' chances of advancing during playoffs! This challenge is free of cost for joining, though we encourage donations to fund Starfish programs.

Starfish Connections

In our annual silent auction, supporters can bid on unique items from Ecuadorian crafts to U.S. business experiences, gift cards, spa packages, travel certificates, and more. All proceeds support scholarships and leadership programs for students in Ecuador. Participation is simple—it just requires a few clicks on an online platform!

GIVING TUESDAY

We fundraise for Giving Tuesday each November. Our fundraising efforts have a virtual focus; however, dedicated supporters have hosted in-person Giving Tuesday events in cities around the world in the past. Contact us if you want to host an event!
