For over six decades, the Tinker Foundation has promoted economic and social development in Latin America. It realizes its mission by funding civil society organizations, including nonprofits, research institutes, and universities, that work on the region's most pressing challenges. These organizations use Tinker resources to test ideas, expand proven models, and foster new problem-solving collaborations. Tinker emphasizes the importance of knowledge and approach exchange within and beyond Latin America, supporting comparative and collaborative work.
The Foundation's Institutional Grants program aims to improve the lives of Latin Americans by supporting changes to policy and practice. The program focuses on three main areas: Democratic Governance, Education, and Sustainable Resource Management. Tinker seeks projects that strengthen democratic governance, such as those promoting the rule of law and judicial reform, enhancing transparency, accountability, and access to justice, especially for marginalized groups. The Foundation funds a variety of project types that align with its grant-making parameters, excluding litigation efforts. Grant amounts typically range from $50,000 to $150,000 per year, for up to three years, but smaller grants for more specific projects are also considered.
