Most organizations working in the Haitian nonprofit space focus on one thing — delivering programs, making grants, or providing a single service. Centre NGO is different because we operate across the entire ecosystem, building the infrastructure that makes every other Haitian-led organization more effective.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
We build and maintain the most comprehensive database of Haitian-serving organizations in existence. Our directory spans the US, Haiti, France, and beyond, cross-referenced against IRS records and government registries, and actively expanding. It is a discovery tool for donors and grantmakers, and a visibility platform for organizations that mainstream philanthropy consistently overlooks.
We train nonprofit leaders directly. Through iLearn Saturday, we offer free, ongoing professional development sessions delivered in Haitian Creole & English, giving nonprofit teams access to practical skills they would otherwise need to pay a consultant for. Our program has reached practitioners across the United States, Haiti, Canada, France, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Barbados, and the DRC.
We produce original research and editorial content. Through our Re-imagining Philanthropy + Haiti series, our Who’s Who editorial series, and our sector accountability reports, we turn raw data into something foundations, policymakers, and communities can actually use
We do all of this with a cultural lens most outside organizations cannot replicate. Our team understands the Haitian nonprofit landscape because we are part of it, not observing from a distance, but embedded in the communities and conversations that shape the sector.
What sets Centre NGO apart is not any single product. It is that we connect the data, the training, the visibility, and the cultural context into one platform, so that Haitian-led organizations are not navigating the philanthropic system alone.
