Fonkoze USA is an American 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to securing financial and technical support for its Haitian partners - whose mission is to empower Haitians, primarily women, with the tools, resources and support needed to lift their families out of poverty. It educates the American public about Fonkoze’s work (fonkoze.org) in Haiti, facilitates technical assistance for the two Haitian entities and raises money to support Fonkoze’s programs. Fonkoze USA also acts as a channel for socially responsible investors who want to “invest” in Fonkoze’s loan fund by lending their money at subsidized interest rates. Fonkoze USA gives American donors access to tax advantages available to the fullest extent allowed and conducts the necessary due diligence on Fonkoze’s operations.
