St. Maarten Development Fund (SMDF)

The St. Maarten Development Fund (SMDF) is a duly incorporated entity on St. Maarten, actively working to improve the lives of St. Maarten’s most vulnerable. Established on May 30, 2012 with an objective to intervene in the development and financing of programs and projects designed to contribute towards the country’s social development, SMDF is the only entity founded solely to provide these forms of support for the country’s social initiatives. Today, SMDF provides both financial and non-financial support to a number of non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) that fill critical voids across multiple segments of St. Maarten’s community. Be it a foster home, emergency shelter, senior citizens enrichment program, afternoon school activity or food pantry, SMDF strives to support foundations that support the people of St. Maarten. We firmly believe that the NGOs we serve, through their programs and projects, are changing lives.
