Haitian Heritage Events
Seeing is believing. Believing is investing.
To inspire investment in Ayiti we have learned that we must re-educate both Haitians and friends of Ayiti on Haitian history, culture, and sustainable development.
Celebrating heritage and building community through education and events are critical conduits to securing funds for Ayiti.
Upcoming Events
DAF Day: Unlock Your DAF. Build Ayiti’s Future
October 8, 2026 | Online
DAF Day is an opportunity to put charitable dollars already set aside in donor-advised funds to work for Ayiti. By recommending a grant to Ayiti Community Trust, donors can invest in Haitian-led solutions and help strengthen the institutions and resources our communities can count on for the long term.
Support ACT’s operations, invest in impactful programs, or help grow a permanent endowment for Ayiti.
Join us on October 8 and put your DAF to work for Ayiti—today and for generations to come.
AYITI VISIONARIES: HISTORICAL FIGURES
Activating Memwa: Remembering the Leaders Who Shaped Ayiti
October 17, 2026 | Virtual Experience
Ayiti Visionaries: Historical Figures is an opportunity to move beyond names and dates and discover the lives, leadership, and legacies of the Haitian figures who helped shape our nation.
Through storytelling, historical exploration, and community dialogue, participants will explore what Haitian leadership looked like in the past and what it can teach us today. From Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines to Marie-Jeanne Lamartinière, Agbaraya Toya, and other often-overlooked figures, this experience invites us to deepen our connection to Haiti's history and collective memory.
Join us on October 17 as we activate Memwa, strengthen our understanding of Haitian leadership, and uncover the stories that continue to shape Ayiti and its future.
We know their names. It's time to know their stories.
