Funder intelligence
The Tinker Foundation maintains a consistent focus on Latin America, supporting organizations working on democratic governance, sustainable development, and social science research. They primarily fund non-profit organizations, universities, and research institutions within or deeply engaged with the region, with a strong emphasis on projects that inform public policy.
The Tinker Foundation typically operates by invitation or requires a Letter of Inquiry (LOI) following a period of relationship-building, generally not accepting unsolicited proposals for its core programs.
