Hispaniola Mountain Ministries

What Hispaniola Mountain Ministries does

Hispaniola Mountain Ministries (HMM) is a 501(c)(3) Christian nonprofit founded in 2005 by Tim Dortch and headquartered in Brandon, Mississippi. The organization partners with local churches across the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba, and Honduras to deliver an integrated three-step model: encouraging communities through medical clinics, schools, water wells, and homes; equipping believers through Bible studies, retreats, and discipleship; and empowering local leaders through a three-year pastor training program. Core offerings include week-long mission trips for U.S. church groups ($700-$900 per person), recurring child ($35/month) and widow ($100/month) sponsorship programs, a full-time medical clinic and Good Samaritan School (500-800 students) in Anse-a-Pitres, Haiti, and a social enterprise coffee initiative through Northshore.coffee with a processing mill under construction in Polo.

Revenue is generated through five distinct streams: monthly recurring sponsorships, one-time mission trip fees, project-specific donations (e.g., $400 for rice-and-beans distributions, $500 per Christmas meal), retail coffee sales via a third-party roaster, and unrestricted general donations. Operations are coordinated through a small US staff of approximately 8 employees plus country-level regional directors in each of the four served nations, with sponsorship and donation processing handled through the third-party ReachApp platform and trip registration via Google Forms. As of January 2026, 80 pastors were actively enrolled in training cohorts and the organization reported expansion into three new locations during 2025.
