Your support is critical to the continuing success of the Foundation.  During our years of service throughout Costa Rica, we have made tremendous strides in each of the unique communities that we support.  All of our work is made possible thanks to the kind donations of goods, services, and financial resources by our volunteers, friend, and sponsors.  We are committed to keeping administrative costs as low as possible to ensure that virtually all financial resources are applied directly to communities in need.

Donations can be tagged as either general or designated.  General donation are used to cover costs for ongoing projects or needs at the discretion of  the organization.  Designated donations will be applied to a specific project at your request such as the construction of a clinic.  All donations go DIRECTLY to people in need. For example, donations could go toward needed school supplies, building supplies to give a family a new home, or toward supplies for microbusiness start-ups.

In the United States, all monetary donations can be made through our sister organization, the International Humanitarian Foundation (IHF). The IHF is a fully registered non-governmental organization based in Hanover, NH, and all contributions made through the IHF are tax deductible.
