Our Impact

OUR STORY

We also provide fiscal agency to grassroots organizations, so they can focus on their areas of expertise. These organizations pursue high-level impact in areas like climate action, literacy and education, theatre arts, and solid waste.

During its short tenure, the Monteverde Community Fund has become a force that magnifies and enhances the work of Monteverde’s engaged citizenry.
