From the People, For the People
We invest in community-led nonprofit organizations in Ayiti that understand their contexts and are committed to staying the course. We fund work in three pillar areas:
People with the knowledge, skills, and values to sustain their nation are best equipped to do it.
Integrated management of Ayiti's resources promotes climate resiliency and economic prospects for future generations.
Business innovations help stabilize local economies and empower families.
At the core of our grant-making process is the identification of community-led organizations that are rooted in a sense of community. Across all 10 departments and 571 rural communities, we aim to identify community leaders and innovators whose work is guided by the communities they serve. We do so with the promise of being transparent, credible, and reliable to these communities.

Coopérative des Acteurs de Pêche d'Environnement et d'élevage (CAPEELAG)
CAPEELAG is a cooperative of fishermen and local associations on the island of La Gonave working to protect coastal ecosystems that are critical to their livelihoods and well-being.
Mangroves are an essential component of the coastal ecosystem. They provide habitats for high-value marine species, prevent coastal erosion and storm surges, and sequester 10x more carbon than terrestrial trees. However, the cutting of mangroves for use in charcoal production has threatened their existence. With support from ACT, CAPEELAG was able to continue its efforts to rehabilitate La Gonave's mangrove forests and established a community goat park to generate new sources of income to help offset charcoal production money.
