About Us

Rooted in service.
Built by people.

Rebuild Dominica, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit relief organization incorporated in 2015 and based in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

Founded in response to Tropical Storm Erika, our work continued through recovery from Hurricane Maria. Today, our collective brings people, expertise and resources together to support relief, education and community opportunity.
