A Steering Committee (SC), comprising of founding and actively involved donors, directs the strategy. They analyse and approve grants and use their personal networks to broaden the base of supporters. The SC members have a wide array of backgrounds and interests but all share a passion for the environmental protection of Barbados.
Our local team is committed to driving impactful projects. The local Executive Director in charge of day-to-day management and coordination work on the ground, assisted by advisors and the SC. The Project Manager collaborates closely with teams, keeping initiatives on track and overseeing reporting. Supporting these efforts, the Project Officer handles communications and operational and administrative responsibilities.
And of course, we are eternally grateful to our supporters for their contribution to the BECT by way of financial donation and/or time!
Our Way
We strongly believe that supporting local resources can make a strong positive impact and bring about serious long-lasting change!
To do so, we raise money from people all over the world, as well as from local individuals and businesses that care and rely on the future of Barbados. We ensure funds are directed appropriately and are dedicated to supporting the most effective environmental projects and campaigns. We support organizations, experts, individuals and associations already present in Barbados, who are working to protect and restore the natural environment and trying to influence both policy and practice.
Our funding is flexible, independent and long term.
