Host a Fundraiser
Even if you are not personally able to donate money at this time, there are all kinds of creative ways to raise funds for a good cause. SOIL volunteers from around the world have organized events ranging from restaurant fundraisers to selling worm composting bins to raise money for SOIL’s work in Haiti.

Invite Us to Speak
Does your organization or university host speakers? We are looking for platforms to deliver our message and share our knowledge. Email us at info@oursoil.org to schedule a talk.*
*Because we try to keep our overhead expenses as low as possible and spend our donations directly on programming, we are normally not able to accept speaker invitations without travel expenses and an honorarium.

Donate an Item From Our Wish List
There are many items not readily available to us in Haiti, and it’s a huge help when people can send us things from our wish list.
Please do not see this list as exhaustive. There are numerous ways that you can help and simply talking about SOIL with people you already know is one of them!
And we want to hear your ideas! You can email the team directly at volunteer@oursoil.org.
