Donate to Support Our Work

• Respond to requests for needed in-kind donations of medical supplies or equipment that we can ship to Cap-Haitien as part of our supply chain program.
• Make a contribution today!
• Set up a recurring monthly donation through Network for Good.
• Ask your employer about workplace giving options or corporate matching gifts.
• Donate appreciated stocks, bonds or mutual funds. The full value of the stock upon transfer is tax-deductible and you don’t have to pay capital gains taxes on the appreciation Note: As always, you should check with your tax advisor to fully understand the tax consequences for you.
• Make a gift donation in honor of a friend or loved one for a special occasion.

Take Action to Further the Cause

• Volunteer your time and talents locally by helping out in the office or warehouse, or apply to become a traveling volunteer.
• Invite Konbit Sante to speak at your workplace, place of worship, club/organization, or home. Contact us and we will do our best to meet your needs.
• Turn an athletic event into a fundraiser and Compete for Konbit!
• Organize and host your own fundraiser - music concert, art sale, restaurant night, party...the sky is the limit! Just be sure to let us know about your fundraiser so we offer our help to prepare for and publicize the event.
• Buy Haitian metal art and/or host an art party! Haitian artisans create these beautiful metal pieces from 55-gallon steel oil drums that have been cleaned, flattened, cut by hand, and intricately patterned (click here to see a video). Hosting a “party” requires nothing more than inviting a few friends, neighbors, or coworkers and supplying the venue--we will set up the art display and do the rest.
• Join our staff team. We have small team in the US and a continually growing team in Haiti. Each person plays a critical role in our efforts in strengthen the health care system in Northern Haiti. Click here to see a list of current job openings.
