Haitian Christian Mission

What Haitian Christian Mission does

Haitian Christian Mission is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1974 by Sherry and Dick Goodell, with a U.S. mailing address in Boca Raton, Florida, and primary field operations based in Fonds Parisien, Haiti. The organization runs an integrated portfolio of programs in Haiti consisting of 10 schools, 1 health center, and a support network for 44 pastors, collectively serving an estimated beneficiary population of approximately 80,000 people. A daily nutrition program feeds roughly 3,400 children, and the organization operates a child sponsorship program at $35 per month or $420 per year that links U.S. donors directly to individual Haitian children.

The organization's underlying operational model is a vertically integrated community-development platform: education (schools), healthcare (clinic), and pastoral support (44 pastors) are delivered through a coordinated on-the-ground infrastructure rather than as standalone programs. This integration is administered by a lean U.S. staff of approximately 9 employees, with execution carried out primarily by Haitian staff, teachers, pastors, and volunteers in the Fonds Parisien region. The 50-year operational history and recurring sponsorship relationships suggest a stable, long-tenured institutional structure.

The business model is donor-funded rather than revenue-generating. Income is derived from recurring child sponsorships, one-time and anniversary-campaign donations, church partnerships, and previously from volunteer mission-trip fees. The 2024 suspension of mission trips due to safety conditions in Haiti has removed a significant donor-engagement and acquisition channel, shifting greater weight onto recurring sponsorship and digital fundraising. The organization holds no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, or AI-based systems; its competitive position rests on institutional trust, on-the-ground infrastructure, and the personal relationships created through its sponsorship model.
