What fondation culture creation does

Fondation Culture Création is a Haitian cultural institution founded in 1992 and recognized as a public utility nonprofit (OSBL d'utilité publique) under Haitian law. Headquartered in Port-au-Prince with eight employees, it delivers arts-based education and psychosocial support programs primarily to Haitian schools and, increasingly, across the Haiti-Dominican Republic border. Its core programs are "Eduquer par les Arts" (EPA), a multi-phase citizenship-through-arts curriculum now in Phase 3 under the AECID MAP 2015-2017 framework, and "Théâtre Thérapeutique," a forum-theater and psycho-drama initiative operating in twelve schools in Kenscoff. The foundation also publishes "Cahiers Pédagogiques," pedagogical notebooks covering ten artistic disciplines in Creole, French, and Spanish, and operates the Bibliothèque Madeleine Paillière, one of the few specialized libraries in plastic arts and cultural disciplines in Haiti. The underlying "Pédagogie de la Rosée" methodology, inspired by Jacques Roumain's novel Gouverneurs de la Rosée, is proprietary and forms the intellectual backbone of program delivery.

The foundation's business model is that of a project-funded nonprofit: all programs and services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries, with no fee-based revenue streams. Income is sourced primarily from international cooperation partners — Spanish Cooperation (AECID) being the dominant funder with €203,000 committed across 2023-2025 for Therapeutic Theatre — supplemented by the European Union's 11th European Development Fund (Bilateral Cooperation Program Haiti-Dominican Republic) and project-specific partners such as Caribbean Export for the Symbiosis binational exhibition. Go-to-market is community-led: bi-monthly site visits to a network of congreganiste and public schools, with on-the-ground facilitation by the small in-house team plus relay organizations like EFACAP de Kenscoff. Distribution is direct-to-institution in the Haitian educational sector, with cross-border activity in the Dominican Republic.

Following the January 12, 2010 earthquake that destroyed its premises, the foundation has restructured while maintaining activities, and the most recent 2023-2025 period shows program expansion rather than retrenchment. The organization's strategic posture is incremental scaling via grant-funded programs in arts education, psychosocial resilience, and binational cultural exchange, with no commercial revenue model and a high dependence on continued AECID and EU programming in Haiti.

Core offering

Fondation Culture Création is a Haitian nonprofit cultural foundation that delivers arts-based educational programs, therapeutic theater workshops, and pedagogical publications to schools and educational communities in Haiti. It operates a specialized library in plastic arts and cultural disciplines, and runs multi-phase projects (notably "Eduquer par les Arts" and "Théâtre Thérapeutique") funded by international development partners such as AECID and the European Union.

Product overview

Fondation Culture Création is a Haitian cultural institution founded in 1992, recognized as a public utility organization. It operates as a single unified organizational entity offering cultural, educational, and artistic programs rather than a technology product company. Its main offerings include the 'Eduquer par les Arts' (EPA) multi-phase educational program for youth citizenship through the arts, the 'Théâtre Thérapeutique' psycho-drama initiative, and 'Cahiers Pédagogiques' artistic pedagogical notebooks in three languages. The foundation also maintains the Bibliothèque Madeleine Paillière, a specialized library in plastic arts and cultural disciplines. These offerings are interconnected: EPA provides the framework for artistic education in schools, the Cahiers serve as pedagogical guides for educators, and the Therapeutic Theatre addresses psychosocial resilience in educational communities.

Broad incumbents

• Prince Claus Fund: Prince Claus Fund is a Dutch international foundation supporting culture and arts in developing countries, including the Caribbean. It shares FCC's grant-funded mission to advance arts and cultural exchange in marginalized contexts but operates at a much larger scale with global reach.
• Institut Français d'Haïti: Institut Français d'Haïti is the French cultural cooperation branch in Haiti, providing arts, language, and cultural programming with institutional French government backing. It overlaps with FCC on cultural education, library services, and cross-border cultural exchange in Haiti, though backed by a sovereign state sponsor.

Direct peers

• FOKAL (Fondation Connaissance et Liberté): FOKAL is a Haitian foundation (founded by civic leader), based in Port-au-Prince, that supports education, culture, and community development programs across Haiti. It is the most direct comparable peer, sharing nonprofit status, Haitian geography, donor-funded model, and a mission centered on arts, education, and civil society.
• Centre d'Art: Centre d'Art is a historic Haitian cultural institution in Port-au-Prince focused on visual arts, exhibitions, and artist development. It shares FCC's cultural-heritage mission and operating geography (Port-au-Prince) and serves a comparable audience of schools, artists, and the diaspora.

Regional players

• Lambi Fund of Haiti: Lambi Fund is a U.S.-based nonprofit supporting grassroots community development in Haiti. While its core focus is economic empowerment rather than arts, it shares FCC's Haiti-centric geographic focus, donor-funded operating model, and nonprofit governance structure.
• Jamaica Cultural Development Commission (JCDC): JCDC is Jamaica's national agency promoting cultural development, arts education, and community cultural programming. It is comparable as a Caribbean organization delivering state/grant-supported arts education and community cultural programs, though it operates at national scale and in a different Caribbean geography.
