Join Us for a Fundraising Dinner 2025

Join Us for a Fundraising Dinner 2025 for Ukraine  in NYC

An Invitation to Stand Together in Solidarity

This year, we are organizing a charity fundraising dinner in New York City to support the people of Ukraine. The venue has been secured, and we are now reaching out to organizations around the world who, like us, believe in rebuilding lives and restoring hope after war.

We are not asking for financial support to host the event. Instead, we are inviting you to be part of something larger:
To bring your members, your voice, and your spirit to this evening of unity and compassion. Together, we can amplify the message of peace, and show that Ukraine is not forgotten.

If your organization would like to lead or participate in any fundraising activities during the event, we welcome an open conversation on how we can support your work as part of this shared mission.

This dinner is not just about raising funds—it’s about bringing people and communities together across borders. It's about reminding one another that when we act together, healing becomes possible.

If your organization would like to partner with us, please get in touch:
📧 shieldartfoundation@gmail.com

Let’s gather not just around tables, but around a common purpose.

Who We Are

Shield Art Foundation, established in 2023 in New York by Taiwanese-American artist Lin Shih-Pao, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit humanitarian art organization. Our mission is to inspire artists to spearhead socially conscious art initiatives that tackle humanitarian concerns and contribute to the peace movement through creative expression.

What We Do

Raising Awareness through Art

We believe in harnessing the power of art to raise public awareness of humanitarian issues. Lin Shih-Pao's "One Painting One Prayer" series has received support from organizations in the United States, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Japan, contributing to efforts in support of Ukraine.

 

Providing Practical Assistance

Beyond artistic endeavors, we actively support tangible donation initiatives. In 2023, Lin Shih-Pao traveled to the front lines in Ukraine, donating supplies such as ambulances and bread-making equipment.
