Proposals are submitted by institutional entities that are geographically focused on Latin America. The Foundation’s priorities are promoting sustainable management practices and providing secure water supply. The Foundation encourages collaboration among organizations in the USA and Latin America. Tinker encourages brief letters of inquiry to the Foundation before proposals are prepared and submitted. There are two application deadlines March 1 and September 15, 2013.

The United States Government’s Inter-American Foundation (IAF) is an independent agency that provides financial support to programs that foster self-help in a sustainable, innovative and participatory manner implemented by NGOs and CBOs in Latin America and the Caribbean. The IAF funds the self-help efforts of grassroots groups in Latin America and the Caribbean to improve living conditions of the disadvantaged and the excluded, enhance their capacity for decision-making and self-governance, and develop partnerships with the public sector, business and civil society. The IAF does not identify problems or suggest projects; instead it responds to initiatives presented. Projects are selected for funding on their merits rather than by sector. Proposals may be submitted throughout the year and will be reviewed as they are received. All submissions must conform to the guidelines posted here link.
