What Vermont Haiti Project does
Mission
To promote and foster sustainability and capacity building through people-to-people partnerships between the people of Vermont and the people of Haiti. Our charitable activities focus on providing support for Haitian partners to build healthier communities and to provide cultural exchange opportunities for all.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Cistern:The largest project in 2023 was building a cistern. This has solved the problem of lack of water when the mountain pipe breaks and cannot be repaired for months. The cistern was built on the vocational school property and holds a constant supply of water for people in the Duchity area. Most of the funds for the completion of this project were provided by VHP. The builders used rocks from the property rather than paying for cinder blocks. VHP funds were used for the purchase and transportation of construction materials and supplies, as well as labor and supervision.
$39,410 spent38% of program spendingDuchity Vocational Center:The Agriculture Program continued at the vocational school. VHP's commitment to support operations, by way of monthly payroll for teachers and other personnel, ended in the fall of 2023 as previously planned. VHP provided a year end gratuity of $1,500 for the personnel. Building repairs that were still needed due to damage from the 8/14/21 earthquake were supported by VHP in the amount of $13,000. The dormitory was open to Haitian medical groups coming to Duchity.
$33,800 spent33% of program spendingDuchity Primary School:Classroom space for grades K-4 continued at the Duchity Vocational Center. The teachers were paid, food was purchased for lunch for the students, and the cooks were paid.
$19,360 spent19% of program spendingWater Purification:We stopped buying bio-sand filters since the political and gang violence worsened in Port au Prince, and there is no way to transport filters from Port au Prince to Duchity. Approximately 50 people came to the vocational center asking for a filter for their home, but since there were none available, they could only receive a bucket of filtered water from the supply at the school. The focus of the 2 technicians therefore was on maintenance of the 456 filters installed in 10 communities of the Duchity area. The technicians used their many years of experience to continue making house calls for servicing the bio-filters, answering questions, and teaching proper use of these durable and effective water filters.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $44k to $0 (−100%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $5k → $30k.
4 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 94% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Vermont Haiti Project’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Vermont Haiti Project leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 93%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Vermont Haiti Project.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 84% · 2021 86% · 2022 54% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
94% of Vermont Haiti Project's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $5k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Vermont, across 2 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $73k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
