    The Inter-American Foundationis an independent Federal agency that
    supports social and economic developmentin Latin America and the
    Caribbean. It makes grantsprimarily to private, indigenous organizations
    that carry out self-help projects benefiting poor people.

    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, IAF 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.
