Project Description
Lack of sustainability is a significant obstacle to long-term development efforts. At the IAF, we strengthen the ability of local philanthropic organizations to do effective programming and unlock additional public and private resources for long-term development. Our grantee partner, Fundación Aldea, provides matching funding to grassroots organizations in rural Jinotega, Nicaragua, and equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to ensure access to basic goods and services, thus supporting and sustaining their development efforts.
