Love Foundation

Love Foundation is a minority-owned non-profit organization based in Belize that focuses on human rights, social development, and community empowerment. Registered in SAM.gov since 2014, the organization has established itself as a key implementer of federal grant programs targeting social and civic improvements in Belize. The foundation works extensively with U.S. government agencies to design and execute projects that address critical social challenges, with a particular emphasis on youth development, gender equality, LGBTQIA+ rights, and community strengthening.

Through federal grant awards primarily from the Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, Love Foundation has implemented a diverse range of projects totaling over $1.5 million. These projects have included creating Belize's first National Gender Equality Index, establishing youth community hubs in vulnerable neighborhoods, developing leadership programs for LGBTQIA+ activists, and strengthening government fiscal accountability systems. The organization has also worked to combat violence against women, reduce LGBTQIA+ and HIV stigma, provide entrepreneurial opportunities in economically disadvantaged communities, and support conflict resolution among at-risk youth. Additional grants from the Inter-American Foundation have supported community-driven approaches to enhancing peace and security, including converting vacant lots into community centers and providing mentorship and academic enrichment programs. Love Foundation's grant-funded work consistently focuses on creating systemic social change through targeted, community-centered interventions.
