Programs
Nosara Census
Collects and publishes community data to better understand Nosara’s population, housing, health, education, water, employment, and security.
Cultural Experiences
Preserves and shares local traditions through immersive experiences including Día de Campo, Cafecito, and traditional cooking classes.
Community Development
Mobilizes resources and local participation through community events and initiatives, including plans for a community center in downtown Nosara.
Current Need
Turning local knowledge into stronger community resources is ConoSer’s immediate priority. The organization aims to raise approximately $30,000 to complete Phase 2 of the Nosara Census, while beginning efforts to develop a community center in downtown Nosara. Donations can directly support both initiatives, and ConoSer is also seeking board members with expertise in fundraising, social media, and website development to help strengthen its capacity and long-term community impact.
