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.
