Honest answers, before you ask.

Yes. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity recognized by the IRS, EIN 41-3538131, with an effective date of exemption of January 9, 2026. All gifts are fully tax-deductible to the extent allowed by U.S. law. You can verify our status on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search using our EIN.

Texas. Mailing address: 811 West Golf Course Road, Midland, TX 79701. Our governance, fiduciary controls, and tax filings are all U.S.-based. All program operations are in Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, in partnership with Sarepta Foundation.

Two people: Angeline (Angie) Moore, a Cap-Haïtien native who grew up in the poverty the Foundation now addresses, and Randy Moore, a retired registered nurse with sixteen years of on-the-ground experience in Haiti. They built the Foundation around the lessons learned from one girl, Darline, whose path from poverty to nursing career inspired the entire four-pillar model.

The board seats four directors: Donald Moore, Angeline Moore, Josena Malere, and Dr. Sandro Visani, a board-certified surgeon and longtime colleague of Randy's who joined as our physician board member. We are actively recruiting one additional independent director (a nonprofit accountant or attorney) to be seated within Year 1. See About for full bios and governance details.

Yes, fully, to the extent allowed by U.S. law. You will receive an electronic tax receipt immediately after giving through Give Lively. If you need a paper receipt or have a complex gift (DAF, stock, IRA QCD, bequest), email Randy directly.

We give you something better than a percentage. We give you line items.

Year-1 budget is $43,670 for 30 children. Of that, $32,700 is direct child costs (tuition, uniform, books, meals, healthcare). $6,000 is English instruction, delivered daily from the first day of school. $1,000 covers operating costs: software, payment processing, and banking. $3,970 is a 10% contingency reserve. Founder travel is paid personally by the founders and is not charged to the Foundation. We carry no paid staff and no office.

Fully-loaded cost is $1,456 per child and sponsorship is $1,500, so one sponsorship covers one child completely with a small margin held in reserve. This is the honest version of charity math, and we'd rather show you the line items than quote you a percentage.

Give Lively is a free, fee-free 501(c)(3) donor platform. Unlike most platforms (which charge 2–5% in processing fees), Give Lively means 100% of your gift reaches HCTF. They cover their own costs through philanthropic funding. We chose them specifically for this reason.

Yes, and for gifts above approximately $1,000, these are usually more tax-efficient than credit-card giving. See our Ways to Give page for instructions on DAF grants, appreciated-stock transfers, IRA Qualified Charitable Distributions, bequests, and employer matching.

Many do, sometimes 1:1, sometimes 2:1. We are a 501(c)(3) public charity, which is what nearly every employer-matching program requires. Check with your HR department or your company's matching-gift platform (Benevity, Bright Funds, YourCause). If they need any verification from us, email Randy.

At the Foundation level, no. We pool sponsorships and assign children to the program rather than to individual donors. This is intentional: child-specific sponsorship creates uneven outcomes (some children get more resources than others) and can become invasive for families. Every Year-1 child receives the same package, regardless of who funded their seat.

What we do provide major donors: quarterly outcome updates by cohort, photographs (with consent) from the ground, and the option for Founding Donors to visit in person on a coordinated trip.

Three reasons. First, Angie is from Cap-Haïtien. Local presence and language fluency matter enormously. Second, Cap-Haïtien is currently more stable than Port-au-Prince and has been throughout the recent security crisis. Third, our hospital partner Sarepta has been operating there for thirteen years, which means we are not building infrastructure from scratch.

Haiti's security and political situation is fragile, and we won't pretend otherwise. Cap-Haïtien is currently more stable than the capital, but conditions can change. Our risk mitigations include working through an established 13-year hospital partner (rather than building new infrastructure), keeping the Foundation's US banking separate from Haiti operations, building a 10% contingency reserve into every year's budget, and committing not to make major capital investments in country until at least Year 5. If a major disruption forces program changes, we will publish that and offer donors the option to restrict, redirect, or refund.

English is the prerequisite for the Tech Center, the language of global business-process outsourcing, and a marketable skill for nursing licensure in many Caribbean countries. Countries like the Philippines and Jamaica reversed their brain drain partly through English fluency. Haitian children grow up with Haitian Kreyòl and French; we add English as a third functional language from Year 1.

Because diplomas without jobs is what destroys most education-charity work in Haiti. Our model funds children through twelve years of school and commits to building the workplace that hires them at the end. By 2036, the HCT Tech Center opens with 100 seats and the first 100 graduates of the program are its first hires. That's how we close the loop, and how we make Darline the rule instead of the exception.

Every year, by cohort, we publish: enrollment, attendance, English proficiency, healthcare encounters (well-child and acute), nutrition assessments, and from Year 3 onward, technology proficiency. From Year 8 onward we also publish placement rates: how many graduates entered remote employment, nursing programs, university, or trades. Founding donors receive these reports quarterly; the public version is published annually on the Financials page.

Not at this stage. Most well-meaning volunteer programs in Haiti shift more cost onto the in-country partner than they offset. We are focused on funded, accountable, in-country staffing through Sarepta and HCT-paid local positions. For in-kind donations (medical supplies, books, computers), please email Randy first. Sending things to Haiti without coordination usually causes more problems than it solves.

Major donors and prospective partners can join a coordinated founder visit (we do three per year). These visits are not "voluntourism" . They're stewardship trips with a real itinerary at Hôpital Sarepta and the school sites. Travel, accommodation, and medevac insurance are at the donor's expense. Talk to Randy if this interests you.
