Tinker Foundation Grants: Who Qualifies and What You Get

This scheme provides financial support to organizations focused on social issues and policy work within Latin America.

👤Who it's for

This program is designed specifically for organizations that focus their work on social issues and policy matters. To qualify, your organization must be active within the Latin American region. This is intended for groups that are working to address complex societal challenges through structured policy work or social impact initiatives.

🎁What you get

If successful, you can receive project funding. This funding is intended to support two main areas: research and capacity building. This means the funds can be used to conduct deep research into social or policy topics, or to help your organization strengthen its internal abilities and resources so it can better serve its community.

💰What it costs you

While the funding is provided to support your mission, there are requirements to manage. Specifically, the process requires an institutional partnership. You cannot access this funding as a lone entity without the formal involvement or partnership of an established institution.

⚠️The catch to know

It is important to understand that this is not a personal grant program. The most common misunderstanding is that this funding can be used for individual professional development. However, the scheme does not fund individual scholarships. All support is directed toward organizational projects rather than personal academic or professional pursuits for single people.

📝How to apply

1. Confirm that your organization meets the geographic requirement by operating within Latin America.
2. Ensure your project focuses on social issues or policy work.
3. Establish the necessary institutional partnerships required to qualify for organizational support.
4. Prepare your project details regarding research or capacity building goals.
