Spark Change from Within

The belief that drives Porches for Progress is simple: Change is best when it starts from within. We serve as a catalyst to help people in resource-poor communities make their ideas a reality.

Our Mission

To propel ideas for progress from within resource-poor communities through collaboration, micro-grants, and the power of opportunity.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every community has hope for the future and the power to create positive change.

 


May the world inspire you and be inspired by you
— Elyse Landry, Co-Founder

What’s in a Name?

Why “Porches,” you ask? In Nicaragua and many Central American cultures, the porch is a place to meet, collaborate, talk, and gather. Our porch is one for progress.
