    The Inter-American Foundation is an independent Federal agency that
    supports social and economic development in Latin America and the
    Caribbean. It makes grants primarily to private, local, and community
    organizations that carry out self-help projects.
    The Inter-American Foundation (IAF) was created in 1969 (22 U.S.C. 290f)
    as an experimental U.S. foreign assistance program. 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.
        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

    build support and mobilize local, national, and international resources
    for grassroots development. It uses its innovative funding experiences
    to share with other donors and development practitioners throughout the
    hemisphere.
