Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

KANPE, which means "to stand up" in Haitian Creole, is a foundation that supports underserved rural communities in Haiti to help them overcome socio-economic barriers on their way to autonomy. KANPE supports the community of Baille Tourible (BT) in the remote highlands of Haiti's Central Plateau, distinguished by its mountainous terrain, geographic isolation, and difficult access by road. We focus on a holistic and integrated approach, ensuring access to free, quality healthcare and education, economic opportunities, entrepreneurship, local infrastructure strengthening, leadership and agroforestry. We give the poorest a voice so that they can express their needs, priorities, and goals, and we work with strong local Haitian organizations who bring skills, knowledge, tools, and training to support the community towards autonomy.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The KANPE Foundation accompanies underserved rural communities of Haiti's Central Plateau on their path towards autonomy. We do so by supporting access to healthcare and education, agroforestry initiatives, entrepreneurship, leadership and local infrastructure strenghtening.

  • In collaboration with its Haitian partners, The KANPE Foundation supports families and their communities as they work to achieve autonomy by strengthening six essential pillars: health and nutrition, agriculture, education, entrepreneurship, leadership, and improvement of local infrastructure. In 2021, we were able to provide support to the management of the public elementary school for the preparation and distribution of hot meals to 450 students, music classes, in-ongoing training for teachers; maintenance of the building and a new agroforestry teaching program as well as capacity building training for local women's organizations.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

As filed, from the IRS e-Postcard file of 2 November 2026. The IRS publishes only each organization's most recent postcard, so earlier years are not shown. A 990-N carries no financial detail. The postcard also gives the principal officer's address, which is not shown here.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
