Running Revolution Ayiti is a nonprofit organization that supports Haitian children and young adults attending school and university. We raise funds by organizing running events and use the entry fees and donations to sponsor students in Haiti. So far, we’ve hosted annual events and are now preparing for our third.

​

Running Revolution Ayiti is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that helps children with education and food, and supports adults 25 years old and under in finishing their education. We also help people relocate during shootings or natural disasters. Once someone is in the program, we do our best to support them until they complete their education.

We raise funds in different ways:

Through running:
We host running events in the United States and use all funds to support Running Revolution Ayiti.

Through coffee:
We organize coffee pop-ups and offer coffee bags and drinks dedicated to supporting our cause.

Kafe Kreyòl:
Kafe Kreyòl is a coffee brand started by Wisly Pierre that dedicates most of its proceeds to Running Revolution Ayiti.

In the future, we plan to partner with multiple businesses that will dedicate pop-ups or drinks to our cause.

 

How are money and resources distributed?

Funds are usually sent to Roseline Gaspard, a member and training coach of the organization.
At times, money is also sent to Albert Joseph, a member and head coach of the club.

They pay the school tuition for each child and provide us with receipts for accountability.

 

Other expenses include:

• Website costs

• Instagram and Linktree

• Converge

• Canva

• Website designers

• Vendors that sell coffee beans
