Ways to Fundraise

Fundraising is one of the most powerful ways to support HDN Foundation’s work in Haiti. When you start a fundraiser, you invite your friends, family, church, school, or workplace to join you to help Haitian families build food security, stable income, and long-term self-reliance.

1) Start a Personal Fundraiser

Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, or “just because.”

Examples:

  • Birthday fundraiser: “Instead of gifts, support seeds for Haitian farmers.”

  • Anniversary fundraiser: “Celebrate love by supporting a family in Haiti.”

  • Graduation fundraiser: “Help a student’s success create hope for others.”


2) Host a Community Fundraiser

Great for churches, schools, clubs, and neighborhood groups.

Ideas include:

  • Haiti Sunday / special offering at church

  • School penny drive or classroom competition

  • Community dinner, auction, or talent night

  • “Seeds & Sustainability” educational event + fundraiser


3) Workplace Giving & Team Challenges

A fun way to involve coworkers and build team unity around a shared cause.

Ideas:

  • Department giving challenge

  • Company match campaign

  • Jeans-day fundraising

  • Volunteer + fundraising combination event


4) Fund a Specific Program or Project

If you want your fundraiser to support a particular initiative, you can focus your campaign on:

  • Seeds for Farmers

  • Poultry for Families

  • Community Savings & Loans

  • Biogas & Renewable Energy

  • Education & community development projects

This makes it easy for supporters to understand exactly what they’re helping accomplish.
