Grantmaking and Foundations for Latin America and the Caribbean (2010-2012)
Most Latin American countries continue with high GDP growth rates amid the global financial crisis. While the nonprofit sector in these countries is among the smallest in the world, these nations are on the cusp of significant philanthropic transformation. This is due, in part, to a rising middle class, technology connecting more citizens and improving distribution of resources, and increasing corporate social responsibility. This paper gives an overview of grantmaking by U.S. and foreign foundations in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) by recipient country and by thematic category.
