Every so often, a campaign comes along that captures something larger than itself, a story…
Centre NGO Directory Now Lists 1,248 Organizations
The Centre NGO directory now lists 1,248 published organizations working for Haiti and its communities. That is up from the 1,043 we shared in our latest newsletter, and it makes the directory one of the most complete public records of Haiti-focused nonprofits anywhere.
Most of this growth comes from our research into Haitian diaspora philanthropy. That work identified hundreds of US-registered nonprofits serving Haiti that had never been gathered in one place. Over the past few weeks, we have added 609 of them to the directory, each with its mission, website, and focus areas.
Who we added
The new organizations cover almost every part of life in Haiti, from schools and clinics to farms, churches, and small businesses. More than a third of them work in education.
They are based across the United States, from Florida and New York, where Haitian communities are largest, to states like Indiana, Tennessee and Ohio. Among the first group we uploaded alone, organizations came from 45 states.
Why it matters
Support for Haiti flows through thousands of organizations, large and small. Many of them are run by volunteers or diaspora families and are hard to find unless you already know their name. A single, searchable directory changes that.
- Donors and funders can find organizations by focus area and see who is already working on the issues they care about.
- Nonprofits can find partners, peers, and potential collaborators in Haiti and across the diaspora.
- Researchers and journalists get a clearer picture of who is doing what, and where.
We are also adding each organization’s official tax or registration number to its listing. For US nonprofits, that is their EIN, and for organizations registered elsewhere, it is their national equivalent. This makes it easier to confirm that an organization is legally registered before you give or partner.
Help us keep it accurate.
A directory is only as useful as its information is up to date. If your organization is listed, please take a few minutes to review it and confirm your mission, website, contact details, and focus areas.
If something is missing or out of date, or your organization isn’t listed yet, let us know, and we’ll update it.
What’s next
The directory will keep growing as we add organizations registered in Haiti, Canada, France, and beyond, and as more groups send us their details. The findings behind this expansion will also feed into our upcoming report on the state of Haitian diaspora philanthropy.
Explore the directory and share it with anyone looking for organizations doing good work for Haiti.
