About this program
The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) funds grassroots development initiatives across Latin America and the Caribbean under Assistance Listing 85.750, with the most recent grant awards issued on September 20, 2024.
The program finances community-led projects addressing economic opportunity, sustainable livelihoods, natural resource management, social inclusion, peacebuilding, and institutional strengthening among marginalized populations. Recent awards support farmers' market infrastructure in Colombia, economic inclusion of Haitian-Dominicans in the Dominican Republic, sustainable coffee production in Haiti, youth employment training in El Salvador, gender-based violence prevention in Peru, indigenous territorial management in Colombia, and community philanthropy ecosystems across the region. Awards also fund forest conservation, water system management, agricultural diversification, artisan crafts revitalization, and leadership development targeting indigenous peoples, women, youth, and displaced populations.
The IAF dominates funding under this listing, having obligated $216.6 million across 1,093 awards (96 percent of all awards by count). The US Agency for International Development Bureau for Latin America and the Caribbean contributed $6.6 million across 28 awards, and USAID made up the remainder. The program is predominantly Project Grants (95 percent of awards) with a smaller share of Cooperative Agreements (5 percent). Combined federal dollars obligated total $225.1 million, with recipients contributing an additional $6.6 million in non-federal share, reflecting some matching requirements or cost-sharing arrangements.
Recent award magnitudes range from $40 thousand to $400 thousand, with most grants falling between $100 thousand and $350 thousand. The portfolio shows consistent annual activity: 81 awards in 2020, 91 in 2021, 55 in 2022, 76 in 2023, and 54 in 2024. Grant timelines typically span two to three years, with some extending to four years.
No grant opportunities are currently open. The most recent posted opportunity—the IAF Research Fellowship Program (solicitation IAF001), a Cooperative Agreement with eligibility unrestricted to applicant type—closed May 31, 2023. That program provided funding for up to 10 new research fellowships per fiscal year to advance field research on grassroots development in IAF operational countries.
