A transnational community foundation dedicated to building a sustainable Ayiti

Our Mission

To support and sustain development innovation in Ayiti in the areas of civic education, the environment, and entrepreneurship.

Who We Are

We are a group of people dedicating time, talent, and treasure to building a sustainable Ayiti. 

We are Haitians living in Ayiti and in the diaspora, and friends of Ayiti who believe that, together, we can transform and correct the misrepresentation of Haitians and Ayiti. Motivated and unified by our belief in Ayiti's strengths, we work to supplant relief-driven development with long-term investment in Ayiti's human and social capital.

Celebrating 8 Years of Impact

On December 9, 2023, Ayiti Community Trust celebrated 8 years of impact as a community foundation that is changing the narrative about Ayiti.

Our Story of Impact

We Are Building an Endowment

An endowment is a gift that keeps giving in perpetuity. It is a mechanism for Haitians and friends of Ayiti across the globe to shape a legacy of long-term support to Ayiti's development. Contributions to the endowment produce ongoing yields that are used to make grants to Haitian-led innovations.
