The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) was created in 1969 (22 U.S.C. 290f)
as an experimental U.S. foreign assistance program. IAF works in Latin
America and the Caribbean to promote equitable, participatory, and
sustainable self-help development by awarding grants directly to local
organizations throughout the region. It also enters into partnerships
with public and private sector entities to scale up support and mobilize
local, national, and international resources for grassroots development.
From all of its innovative funding experiences, the Foundation extracts
lessons learned and best practices to share with other donors and
development practitioners throughout the hemisphere.
IAF is governed by a nine-person Board of Directors appointed by the
President with the advice and consent of the Senate. Six members are
drawn from the private sector and three from the Federal Government. The
Board of Directors appoints the President of IAF.
