CONTINUE THE JOURNEY: HC EMERGENCY RESPONSE FUND

In March, we launched an Emergency Response Fund (ERF) to support our local partners in navigating the economic challenges associated with the onset of COVID-19. With the generosity of HC’s donors, we’ve channeled over $12,500 USD to our partners through stipends, product sales, and participation in virtual programs.

An investment in HC will empower us to continue our journey, widening our reach in the tourism-reliant Banderas Bay region. Your year-end gift will foster the creation of an HC Artisan Alliance, which includes: 

  • Opening our programming to a wider network of local artisans who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic

  • Facilitating income generation opportunities and access to international markets for these artisans

  • Providing capacity building support and professional development to members of the Artisan Alliance

The work we are doing may look different in the coming year, but the vision remains the same -- a world where authentic and meaningful experiences can build empathy across cultures and create vibrant, strong communities. 

 
 
 
 

STAND WITH US

For our local artisan partners who rely on travelers and public spaces to sell their products, income opportunities are dramatically reduced.  As for HC, we are currently estimating our loss at $135,000+ — cutting our year’s budget in half. 

We hope you’ll stand with us to ensure all members of the HC family are able to live healthily and with dignity despite the challenges that face us. Because when the global community starts to rebuild, an empathetic, interconnected spirit will help us heal.
