HAITI REFORESTATION PARTNERSHIP

What HAITI REFORESTATION PARTNERSHIP does

Haiti Reforestation Partnership (HRP) is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 58-1933713), founded around 1990, that operates as the US fundraising, technical, and strategic arm of CODEP (COmprehensive DEvelopment Program), a community-based Haitian reforestation organization founded in 1989 in the mountains above Leogane, Haiti. HRP is headquartered at P.O. Box 7116 in Charlottesville, Virginia, with operational bases at the CODEP Depot in Leogane, Haiti, and is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors currently chaired by Sally Harwood, with Michael Anello serving as Executive Director since 2018. The organization holds a Charity Navigator Four-Star Rating, indicating recognized financial health and accountability. HRP's US staff is small (five named employees and contractors) and is complemented by CODEP's roughly 750–800 rural Haitian members, more than half of whom are women, who execute the on-the-ground reforestation labor.

HRP's core product is its Reforestation Program, which supports 47 nurseries across the CODEP community, where seeds harvested from rotted market fruit are germinated in recycled plastic bottles and nurtured into seedlings for twice-yearly planting campaigns (May and November) of more than 250,000 seedlings per cycle. The underlying methodology — known as the CODEP Method — is a staged 0–25 year protocol covering nursery cultivation, transplantation, sapling growth, grove formation, and mature forest, supplemented by water-catchment trench construction, terracing, and organic fertilization on steep terrain. To date, CODEP has planted 19.25 million trees, with more than 17 million reported surviving. Secondary programs include the HRP/CODEP Reforestation Mentoring Program (launched 2021, enrolling ~10 students annually across two-year cohorts), a Community Gardens Initiative addressing food insecurity, and a Research Forest initiative. HRP's emerging technology layer comprises GPS-enabled forest inventory (built around a specialist hired in late 2023), drone-based land assessment, a prior NASA DEVELOP satellite imagery partnership, and exploratory AI-augmented remote sensing for carbon credit analysis.

HRP's revenue model is entirely charitable: tax-deductible individual donations, recurring monthly giving, congregational Alternative Gift Markets, foundation grants (named: Social Enterprise Fund, Presbyterian Church USA, Building Goodness Foundation, Family Health Ministries), and direct-event fundraising. Sponsorship pricing is granular and small-dollar — $25/month ($300/year) per student stipend, $75/month ($900/year) for mentoring leadership support, $5,000 for visiting-expert hosting, and $100,000–$120,000 for Research Forest land acquisition (with corporate naming rights available). The organization does not publish revenue figures, does not charge for services, and operates without a parent company, subsidiaries, or paid APIs. Its go-to-market motion is community-led and event-driven, with outreach concentrated in faith-based networks, individual donor communications, and speaking engagements.
