Our Mission

The Nica Dev Fund was founded to bring help to those who need it most.
Our intent is to better the quality of life for the Nicaraguan community where
we work and live.

We encourage participation of the community as opposed to
simply paying for these improvements. In this way we are helping them to
help themselves.

The concept

The fund is managed by us and we welcome other local involvement either
by land owners or outside interested parties.

We solicit ideas form the communities for use of the funds as well as those
which the homeowners association feels are necessary with the Board of
Directors ultimately determining which projects the fund will support.

At all times, this fund will remain in the control of the Board of Directors, not
the local government or any other self interest party. This is to insure the
money gets directly to those who need it most.

Initial funds are donated by
Nica Dev by sales from Las Fincas and The
Haciendas at Las Fincas. We do accept private and public donations.

Please know that
100% goes to the people, no administrators or agencies.

How you can help

We encourage everyone who is coming down to bring some no longer used
clothing, especially for children, stuffed animals travel well (especially
Beanie Babies!), old baseball gloves, balls, cleats, etc.

Don't have plans to visit soon? Donate some small amount;
together we will have a huge impact.
