Why this campaign exists

The 11th Department is building a long-term community infrastructure—not just a website. We’re creating a place where people can organize by Region, work by Sector, and stay connected to what’s happening in Haiti’s 10 Departments—with clear pathways to launch, fund, and deliver real projects.

This campaign supports the “engine room” of the mission: the platform and the coordination work that keeps projects organized, credible, and moving.

What your support makes possible

Your donation helps us:

• Keep the platform secure, stable, and accessible (hosting, maintenance, reliability)

• Improve tools members use every day (profiles, communities, directories, media, events, ecosystems)

• Support coordination and communication so projects don’t stall

• Maintain community trust through moderation, structure, and standards

• Publish updates and strengthen transparency for project tracking

Why “platform support” matters

Most community projects fail because people can’t stay organized—or because progress becomes unclear. The platform solves that by giving members a shared workspace to:

• identify needs in communities and Haiti’s Departments

• shape ideas into proposals inside Sectors

• recruit volunteers and partners

• track milestones, updates, and outcomes publicly (when applicable)

Our commitment to accountability

We keep support respectful, organized, and results-focused. For this campaign, we commit to:

• Milestone updates posted publicly

• Monthly progress notes (what we improved, what’s next)

• Budget visibility (high-level breakdown of how funds are used)

• Outcomes + lessons learned shared so the community sees what works

What funds will be used for

Funds received will be used for:

• Platform operations (hosting, backups, security, maintenance)

• Development and improvements (features, performance, usability)

• Community moderation and support (quality, safety, trust)

• Communications and coordination (organizing working groups and updates)

• Tools for projects and organizations (pages, events, documents, media, directories)
