The motivation and grounding for what we do is the good news of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Specifically, we believe in the complete salvation of all people as expressed in the vision of the promised banquet (Isaiah 25; in Kreyol). We go where God goes by acknowledging God’s favor for the poor. We must lose our lives and that to which the world says we must cling in order to find the life of service above self that God created us to live.
We are committed to being, thinking, and acting as the most highly effective grassroots movement we can be. We will always come through on our promises.
We will never make a promise we cannot keep.
We fully honor and respect the Haitian people, their culture, and their religious beliefs.
We believe in the creativity, faith, character, and gifts of the Haitian people to take full ownership of their future.
We only invest in initiatives led by Haitians or that have a clear plan for ultimate Haitian leadership.
We so respect and believe in the capacity of those in whom we invest that we never become owners, shareholders, or co-business partners. Thus, the role of HTF includes keeping clear boundaries with regard to where our investment ends and where our partners’ responsibility begins.
The record of receipt and use of funds must be fully transparent.
We are always fully accountable to all donors for the appropriate stewardship of the funding we receive.
As a U.S. foundation, we will be advocates for Haiti in all matters of U.S. policy.
We welcome partnerships with others who share our values.
We pledge to fund necessary administrative costs through pursuing designated cash or in-kind gifts so that we can say with integrity to all donors, "100% of all gifts to HTF go to Haiti."
As partners, we not only promise to provide funding resources for Haiti, but we also pledge our prayers and full encouragement and support for those on the front line of ministry, on our behalf, in Haiti.
And we believe that with God, all things are possible.
