Overview
Mission
COSE aims to empower youth in Haiti through merit-need secondary scholarship programs to foster a new generation of leaders in Haiti. Our motto is Educate to Change.
What it reported doing in 2025
For the 2025 and 2026 academic year, COSE helped 33 students attend secondary school in Haiti. We provided tuition, books, and school supplies to each student. This was made possible by donations received in 2025. Payments for the first semester of the previous school year were made in Fall 2025, and payments for the second semester were made in January 2025.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 46% for direct work, and 54% for grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
