    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.
