Beast Philanthropy has several active campaigns across the globe. The first is an ongoing campaign that continues inviting donations for children in Africa. This campaign emerged after Beast Philanthropy made a video in which they provided medical attention to children with life-threatening conditions, particularly rheumatic heart disease (RHD).

Another campaign by the YouTuber is aimed at saving endangered animals from going extinct in the Masaai Mara National Reserve.
