Transparency & diaspora

A collaboration, not a collection plate

This campaign works because several organisations and thousands of people carry it together.

Hope Royal Botanic Gardens

The Nature Preservation Foundation team on the ground — 200 acres of gardens, woodland and nursery, and the horticulturists who keep them alive.

Blue Mahoe Charitable Foundation

Fiscal sponsor and US 501(c)(3) partner. BMCF collects and manages all donations, provides full financial oversight and remits funds directly to Hope Gardens — with 95 cents of every dollar going where it matters.

The global diaspora

From Toronto to London, Miami to New York — Jamaicans everywhere are answering the call, alongside influencers, corporate partners and volunteers united by one purpose.

Transparency as standard

Published project budgets, visual progress updates and regular financial reports. Every donor deserves to know exactly where their money goes.
