Monteverde has felt a deep economic impact by the recent events in the world: with the arrival of COVID-19 to Costa Rica and the new lockdown on our borders preventing tourists from traveling into the country, a large percentage of our community will have little to no income for the following months, as many businesses have had to let employees go in the midst of this uncertainty. Starting today we will use our platforms to collect donations and redirect all funds to the local Emergency Commission.
Monteverde has felt a deep economic impact by the recent events in the world: with the arrival of COVID-19 to Costa Rica and the new lockdown on our borders preventing tourists from traveling into the country, a large percentage of our community will have little to no income for the following months, as many businesses have had to let employees go in the midst of this uncertainty. After Hurricane Nate, we recognized the community's ability to unite in response to adversity, and the need for a centralized fund that can redirect donations in a transparent and timely manner. For this reason, we have joined with the Municipal Emergency Commission to offer them our fund collection service.
Starting today we will use our platforms to collect donations and redirect all funds to the local Emergency Commission.

Help us invest in the future of Monteverde!
We believe in a Monteverde where: People cultivate livelihoods in a diversified, carbon-negative economy; Youth engage and self-empower; Forest ecosystems thrive in abundance; and Visitors treasure and contribute to our dynamic community.
