Latin America Donor Index
The goal of the Index is to help both non-profits and philanthropic organizations active in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) easily identify potential donors and strategic allies. We do this by consolidating and providing free access to information about donors based in the LAC region, the United States, and Europe. For us, donors include: private donors such as foundations, corporate giving programs, international non-governmental organizations, official development agencies, and local nonprofits with grant making programs.
