Institutional Giving
Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) cannot achieve its humanitarian and environmental goals alone. Our success is made possible by a growing number of friends around the world, including reputable corporations, foundations and community groups.
SHI works with Community Partners, including schools, congregations and clubs, to create direct connections between donor groups and the communities we serve in Honduras, Belize, Nicaragua and Panama. Community Partners receive quarterly reports on the work they are supporting and also have the unique opportunity to participate in service-oriented trips to their sponsored community. Is your community ready to join our growing list of partners? 
By donating and educating their employees and patrons about SHI's programs, each of our corporate supporters is taking steps towards minimizing the company’s environmental and economic impact on our planet. SHI works with its corporate partners to develop mutually beneficial relationships that promote the missions of both partners. If you have a business and are interested in supporting SHI, we would love to hear from you! Businesses of any size are welcome to join our distinguished list of Corporate Partners.

“Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) was selected as our donation recipient because we believe their mission closely aligns with our brand…We are very impressed with SHI’s work in Central America as they continue to improve the standard of living in many rural communities and help restore the rainforest. Today’s economy may be putting additional stress on financial resources for many organizations but we continue to support SHI’s efforts because we believe their long-term strategy will positively impact people around the world.

“Sustainable Harvest International (SHI) is the ideal partner… It is one thing to visit the SHI website and read the various reports and informational materials, but seeing the program in action was incredible. It is obvious that SHI is making a real difference in improving the lives of these farmers and their families.” Diane Ragone, Ph.D., Director, The Breadfruit Institute, National Tropical Botanical Garden
“It is a pleasure to read the community reports and picture the work I witnessed in San Lucas along with other projects in Belize. Nana (SHI-Belize Country Director) and his staff do an excellent job guiding and encouraging the people of their potential and the magnitude of what they can accomplish. I have never observed such hard working people as the people of Belize, working for a better life for themselves, their families, their community and the world – including me. Their effort and work with SHI is impacting the world’s environment – a message I try to convey to my fellow Garden Club members here in Maine.” Mary Pat Gibson, Piscataqua District Garden Clubs

"I just returned from a 10-day trip to Honduras with Sustainable Harvest International. That small organization with a relatively small staff ... is doing a fantastic job helping the rural areas of Honduras diversify crops and re-forest the denuded mountains of the country. [They] demonstrated a dedication and grasp of both the problems and possible solutions that I found worthy of Nobel prize recognition. The leadership of our Smaller World Tour by an employee of SHI was first-rate. We worked, we learned, we contributed. If there is truly a way to help the impoverished developing world, SHI holds the key."
