Scott Haugh
Scott Haugh is a licensed Chemical Dependency Professional and nonprofit leader whose career has been defined by a commitment to supporting society’s most marginalised communities. He brings over 10 years of clinical experience helping others escape the grip of addiction and co-occurring mental illness, specialising in trauma-based therapeutic approaches for ultra-marginalised populations including those who are incarcerated and homeless. A 2018 graduate of Seattle University’s Masters of Nonprofit Leadership programme, Scott leads efforts to build lasting partnerships with charitable organisations and develop strategies that advance the Haugh Foundation‘s mission.
Scott’s philanthropic work in the Cayman Islands is wide-ranging and deeply embedded in the community. As part of the Haugh Family Foundation, he oversees international giving, with the foundation supporting youth and adult educational opportunities for those in recovery from addiction, resources for veterans, and inclusive learning opportunities for children with disabilities. The foundation purchased 34 acres of land in North Side in 2017, ultimately gifting it to the Beacon of Hope Foundation to support Beacon Farms, a non-profit providing agricultural employment to Caymanians recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. Scott also serves on the boards of The Bridge Foundation Cayman and The Beacon of Hope Cayman Foundation, reflecting a hands-on commitment to building a continuum of care for those rebuilding their lives.
His seat on the Inclusion Cayman Board reflects the natural intersection of his work across disability, recovery, and community inclusion. Scott is also co-founder of the Cayman Cigar Company, described as the world’s first premium cigar company to give 100% of net profits to charity, with proceeds channelled directly into the recovery and inclusion programmes he champions across the island. Across every endeavour, Scott brings a conviction that meaningful support, whether for individuals with disabilities or those in recovery, must be practical, sustained, and rooted in genuine community partnership.
