Haiti is now in an unsustainable situation. Change must happen in all sectors. We believe that Philanthropy can play a pivotal role in Haiti’s resurgence with strategic investments now.

The goal of organizing Haiti Funders Conferences is to increase the amount, effectiveness and impact of philanthropy directed to supporting sustainable economic and social development in Haiti. This conference is especially timely and critical given the deepening crises and ballooning humanitarian need in the country today. The conference will provide a space for current and potential funders, donors, diaspora organizations and development experts to come together to think strategically about how philanthropy and development assistance can contribute to systemic change. The conference will give donors a chance to consult with peers on challenges they face and ideas for new approaches. It will provide time and space for participants to network and work together individually outside of structured sessions, which is key to building the community of Haiti funders, so that it is an ongoing resource for its members. Participants can forge and deepen relationships that may form the basis for future coordination and collaboration.
