The Tinker Foundation has announced its latest call for Institutional Grants, inviting organizations to propose transformative projects centered on Latin America.
This initiative seeks to bridge the gap between policy and practice through high-impact research and implementation.
Targeting the region’s most pressing challenges, the foundation prioritizes projects within three core sectors: democratic governance, education, and sustainable resource management.
Each project must demonstrate a clear path toward improving the lives of citizens across the continent.
Organizations must focus their efforts on the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries of Latin America to be eligible.
The Foundation looks for initiatives that offer scalable solutions and promote regional collaboration among key stakeholders.
Funding and benefits
Selected recipients can expect substantial financial support, with grant awards typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 per year.
These funds are designed to cover project-related costs that drive meaningful social and environmental progress.
Beyond the monetary award, the grants provide a duration of up to three years, allowing for long-term project stability and development.
This sustained support helps organizations move from initial concepts to measurable, real-world outcomes.
Additionally, becoming a Tinker grantee offers significant visibility within a global network of experts and policymakers.
This recognition can serve as a catalyst for further funding and institutional growth.
Application requirement
Eligibility is limited to organizations with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status in the United States or their equivalent in other countries.
Applicants must prove their organizational capacity to manage large-scale grants and deliver on their proposed objectives.
The application process begins with a mandatory Letter of Inquiry (LOI), which serves as a brief overview of the project’s goals and methodology.
Only those whose LOIs align with the Foundation’s strategic priorities will be invited to submit a full proposal.
Strong applications are characterized by evidence-based approaches and a clear understanding of the local context in which they operate.
The Foundation encourages a focus on gender equity and inclusion within the project design.
Deadline
The deadline for this application is January 21, 2026. Visit the Tinker Foundation’s Institutional Grant call page to apply. Explore more global calls on our Opportunities page
