2020:a year
in review
MEET OUR COMMUNITY ALLIANCES
Although 2020 was a challenging year, it allowed us to become even closer with the community, sharing many hours of volunteer work in response to the crisis and financing over 25 community projects. These experiences gave us a clearer understanding of the most pressing needs, and gave way to strong alliances with local businesses, creating a larger base fund for the community to access with project proposals, advocating for youth health and supporting local food safety.

Monteverde Emergency Fund
Working together in the face of global adversity.
Monteverde felt a deep economic impact by with the arrival of COVID-19 in 2020. With new regulations and the complete lockdown on our borders preventing tourists from traveling into the country, a large percentage of our community has had little to no income for the past months and many depend solely on the generosity of others.
For this reason we partnered with the Local Emergency Commission and the Liaison Commission, and offered our platforms to help raise funds which are being used to buy fresh, local produce for families in need.
