A Diverse Region
The Andean Region and the Southern Cone of Latin America are rich in geographic, demographic, economic, political and cultural diversity. This diversity presents opportunities and challenges for the work the Ford Foundation has been doing in the region since 1960.
Located in Santiago, Chile, our office supports innovative individuals and institutions working to improve people's lives in Chile, Peru, Argentina and Colombia. We also periodically support regionally focused efforts that originate from other Latin American countries.
Support for Social Change
The Ford Foundation's mission is to strengthen democratic values, reduce poverty and injustice, promote international cooperation and advance human achievement.
Guided by these principles, our grants in this region support an array of civil society organizations, often working in coordination with governmental agencies, to build education and knowledge, to foster citizen participation in economic and political life, to consolidate human rights and the rule of law and to build the capacity of public institutions to respond to societal needs. In 2008, we provided more than $11.5 million in grants to the region.
