Raci Canada

Raci Canada is a Canadian-based non-profit organization registered in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) that specializes in supporting civil society organizations, grassroots initiatives, and advocacy efforts across Latin America and the Caribbean. Founded as part of the Federacion Red Argentina para la Cooperacion Internacional (RACI), the organization focuses on strengthening transparency, civic engagement, and democratic processes in the region. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, Raci Canada has established itself as a key partner for U.S. federal agencies seeking to support regional development and civic empowerment initiatives through cooperative agreements and grant programs.

Through its federal grant awards, Raci Canada has consistently delivered complex programmatic support for international development efforts, primarily working with agencies like the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs and the Inter-American Foundation. The organization's grant work involves administering sub-award programs, conducting research, organizing innovation labs, developing capacity-building training modules, and supporting civil society organizations across 16 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Notable project activities have included launching open calls for proposals to fund local civil society organizations, conducting research on civic space and donor landscapes, organizing regional meetings and workshops, and implementing initiatives focused on critical issues such as transparency, accountability, women's rights, and climate resilience. Raci Canada has worked closely with prime partners like The Tides Center, receiving sub-awards that enable them to execute targeted interventions supporting grassroots organizational development, peer-to-peer learning, and scalable social impact strategies throughout the region.
