What Healing Haiti does

Healing Haiti is a US-headquartered, faith-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2007 by Alyn Shannon and Jeff Gacek after a 2006 mission trip. The organization's mission is to break the cycle of poverty in Haiti through the local church, education, job creation, and medical care. Its administration sits in Champlin, Minnesota (P.O. Box 263), while field operations are concentrated in Titanyen and Cité Soleil, Haiti, including offices at the Delmas 31 guesthouse and the Fleri Farm near Port-au-Prince.

The organization operates an integrated portfolio of Haitian-led programs rather than discrete products: Grace Academy and Hope School educate 1,480+ students (preschool through high school, with roughly half receiving scholarships); Grace Village houses 54 children in family-style homes; Grace Clinic and Hope Clinic deliver primary, maternal, and elder healthcare; Grace Church and Hope Church serve as community hubs; and Fleri Bakery, Fleri Farm (30 acres, 25 crops, 50 farmers), and Fleri Restaurant form a social-enterprise cluster that employs ~25+ Haitians and supplies feeding programs. In 2024, the organization delivered 2.6 million gallons of clean water and 367,423 meals, served over 10,000 people through its churches, and supported 120+ full-time jobs.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable channels. The primary mechanism is a catalog of eight recurring monthly sponsorships priced $25–$40 (children, students, elders, maternal health, transition teens, graduates, missionaries), complemented by one-time donations processed via Zeffy and Reach, corporate partnerships (Latitude since 2009, Dedicated Financial GBC, Print For Change—founded 2012 with 50% of profits directed back to the ministry), church partnerships, mission-trip fees (1,200+ missionaries served in 2018), and giving vehicles such as stock gifts, legacy giving, and charitable IRA distributions. Outreach is conducted via a standard digital stack (website, Constant Contact email, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Vimeo) augmented by annual benefit events.
