Resource Foundation

Resource Foundation received $30,000 to support two of its indigenous partner microfinance institutions (MFIs):  one in Colombia and the other in Guatemala.  Both have excellent track records with proven results, but both are difficult to find funding for due to the internal political situations in each country.  Monies granted were used in rural areas for famers to provide theoretical and practical training on sustainable livestock training practices, provide technical assistance to improve production and profitability, promote preventive health practices for livestock and measure program effectiveness through ongoing measurement and evaluation.

The Resource Foundation helps strengthen local nonprofit organizations by providing value-added services to enhance their organizational capacity and scale their impact. These services include vetting, representation, training, networking, technical assistance, capacity building, fundraising, funds transfer, and more.  Its network is comprised of 198 affiliated organizations in 17 countries throughout Latin America and the Caribbean.
