Two organizations.
One mission.

Here's exactly how Butterfly Collaborative (US) and Butterfly Collaborative Initiative (Malawi) relate to each other and what it means for your donation.

Butterfly Collaborative (US) (butterflycollaborative.org) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in the United States.

It handles fundraising, governance, legal structure, and financial oversight for Butterfly's global programs. Donations made here are tax-deductible for U.S. donors.

Butterfly Collaborative Initiative Malawi is a separately registered nonprofit operating under Malawian law. It manages the on-the-ground operations — the clinics, the feeding centers, the research programs in Malawi, and the community relationships. It is operationally and financially independent from Butterfly Collaborative (US).

The two organizations share a mission and collaborate closely. They do not share finances, governance, or legal structure.
