The collaboration and donations of both parents and friends of Futuro Verde play a very important part for the institution.
Since Futuro Verde is an independent non-profit, we only have two sources of income: students’ monthly tuition payments and donations.
Our different donation campaigns support the following initiatives:
- Improvements in school infrastructure.
- Enrollment of a wide range of families to guarantee the socio-economic diversity of the community.
- The development of sports and sustainability programs within the institution.
- Library improvements and programs and the purchase of books for all grades in English and Spanish.
We deeply appreciate all the people who have accompanied us during our journey without whom our growth and the continuation of our program would not have been possible.

La colaboración y donaciones de padres de familia y amigos de Futuro Verde son un componente muy importante para la institución.
Al ser Futuro Verde una organización sin fines de lucro e independiente, solo contamos con el apoyo de dos fuentes de ingresos: las mensualidades de los estudiantes y las donaciones.
Las diferentes campañas de donación de Futuro Verde apoyan las siguientes iniciatiativas:
- Mejoras en la infraestructura de la escuela.
- La aceptación de una amplia gama de familias para garantizar la diversidad socio económica de la comunidad.
- Apoyar al desarrollo de programas deportivos y de sostenibilidad dentro de la institución.
- Mejorar la biblioteca, los programas de biblioteca y la compra de libros para todos los grados en inglés y español.
Agradecemos profundamente a todas aquellas personas quienes nos han acompañado durante nuestra trayectoria sin las cuáles nuestro crecimiento y la continuación de nuestro programa no serían posibles.

On April 23rd, we celebrated Earth Day at Futuro Verde with costumes, activities and workshops. Thanks to the collaboration of students, parents and friends, Refugio Romelia, Cabo Blanco Reserva Absoluta and ASVO achieved the first, second and third place respectively, reaching 1,000 dollars raised before the closing date of the competition, April 27th.
It is with great enthusiasm that we share with you how the beneficiary organizations will use the funds raised at Futuro Verde:
Refugio Romelia can now afford to remunerate the volunteer coordinator for the coming turtle season, starting in June and ending in January. Refugio Romelia coordinators are interns graduated in Biology or a related field of studies who have had previous experiences with turtles. They travel to Refugio Romelia as volunteers from other countries and receive $ 200 per month as a token of appreciation for their work protecting the species.
The funds raised for Cabo Blanco Reserva Absoluta will go towards repairing the public trail bridge and hosting ecological camps on site.
ASVO will use the donation to repair and finish the turtle hatchery, which is very important because it provides a safe and comfortable place where volunteers perform their duties and which serves as a patrol headquarters, both at night and during the day. They will also purchase research and environmental education materials.
The rest of the donations will go towards the Futuro Verde multipurpose sports field fund. Thanks to the initiative of our fourth grade student Margaret Holland and her companions Sofía Morales and Naomy Delgado, we will be able to sterilize and provide a better quality of life to our two school cats.
We thank all the people who supported both the students and the organizations.

El pasado 23 de abril celebramos con disfraces, actividades y talleres el Día de la Tierra en Futuro Verde. Gracias a la colaboración de los alumnos, padres de familia y amigos, Refugio Romelia, la Reserva Absoluta Cabo Blanco y ASVO lograron el primer, segundo y tercer lugar respectivamente alcanzando los $1000 antes del 27 de abril que se cerraba la competencia.
Con mucho entusiasmo compartimos los proyectos en los que las organizaciones utilizarán el dinero recaudado:
Refugio Romelia podrá remunerar al coordinador de voluntarios para esta nueva temporada de tortugas que empezará en junio y termina en enero. Los coordinadores de Refugio Romelia son pasantes graduados en Biología o alguna carrera afín, tienen experiencia con tortugas. Los coordinadores son personas de otros países que vienen a hacer currículum como voluntarios, en el Refugio Romelia los remuneran con $200 mensuales como una forma de agradecimiento por su dedicación y ayuda al refugio y a esta especie.
La Reserva Absoluta Cabo Blanco utilizará los fondos para la reparación del puente del sendero público y para apoyar a los campamentos ecológicos de la Reserva Cabo Blanco 2018.
ASVO utilizará el donativo para reparar y terminar la casa del vivero de tortugas, la cual es muy importante para que los voluntarios puedan permanecer en un lugar seguro y confortable mientras realizan sus tareas y patrullaje tanto de noche como durante el día. También, invertirán en la compra de materiales para investigación y materiales para brindar educación ambiental a la comunidad.
El restante de donaciones irá al fondo de recaudación para la cancha deportiva multiusos de Futuro Verde, pero también gracias a la iniciativa de la estudiante de cuarto grado Margaret Holland y a sus compañeras Sofía Morales y Naomy Delgado podremos castrar y dar una mejor calidad de vida a nuestros dos gatos escolares.
Agradecemos a todas aquellas personas que apoyaron tanto a los estudiantes como a las organizaciones

On April 23rd we will be hosting our Earth Day Charity event.
What´s this day about?
It´s about supporting an organization involved in local environmental protection and conservation, in an unusual and fun way. The challenge will be to raise money for a chosen organization both before and during the day of the event, with the participants spending the day up in a fig tree until they manage to collect $ 1,000 for their cause by reaching out to their connections through the internet and social media in order to promote the event. The participant(s) who reach the $ 1,000 goal before 2:30 pm on April 23rd, may come down from their tree. In addition, the first three participants will be able to donate the money raised to the organizations they chose to support. The rest of the funds raised will be used to invest in expanding Futuro Verde’s sports facilities. In 2017, we raised $ 6,093 and the beneficiary organizations were: Green Wave, ASOPROLAPA and Nicoya Peninsula Waterkeepers. The rest of the money was used to purchase 7 new computers for the multimedia center.
If you wish to participate, we invite you to investigate and find an organization that you would like to support next April 23rd, Earth Day. Don´t miss out on Earth Day!
