EcoViva operates in the international trade and development space, partnering with community-led organizations in Central America to pursue environmental sustainability, economic security, social justice, and peace. Its work centers on the Lower Lempa region of El Salvador, with additional limited grantmaking in Honduras and Panama, and is driven by collaborations with local partners such as the Mangrove Association, a network of communities near the Bay of Jiquilisco Biosphere Reserve. The organization provides financial and technical support to locally led initiatives ranging from environmental conservation and infrastructure to potable water, disaster prevention, and youth empowerment, while also facilitating educational exchanges through Community Empowerment Tours for U.S. universities and groups. Based in Columbus, Georgia, EcoViva emphasizes direct relationships with partner communities in El Salvador and aims to translate local leadership and knowledge into broader development outcomes. A recent development noted is the release of EcoViva’s 2017 Annual Report, reflecting the organization’s ongoing programmatic work.
