The new cohort builds on the first edition, which supported 15 binational projects in seven countries, combining funding and capacity building.
Eligible countries: Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Dominican Republic and Uruguay.
USD100Kper project
Democracy and citizenship
#PensarConOtros
Grupo SURA, the SURA Foundation and the Bolívar Davivienda Foundation, with Latimpacto's support, launched the sixth edition of #PensarConOtros, which seeks to select and fund 10 initiatives in 11 Latin American countries. The call, open until October 22, 2026, will support projects that build citizens' capacities to take part in public affairs and women's participation in democracy, with grants of up to USD 50,000 per initiative.
Eligible countries: Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Brazil, Uruguay, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica.
USD50Kper initiative
Bioeconomy from the territories
Entre Selvas: Living Territories
Latimpacto moves forward with Entre Selvas: Living Territories, a three-year initiative to strengthen the socio-bioeconomy in the Chocó–Amazon corridor. The project aims to strengthen at least 24 initiatives, provide catalytic funding to at least eight and connect public, private, philanthropic and community actors. The long-term goal is to turn capacity building and market connections into greater capital mobilization, including structuring a Catalytic Bioeconomy Fund for Colombia.
24initiatives strengthened
All three initiatives share one commitment: moving from connecting actors to building partnerships that mobilize knowledge, capabilities and capital for concrete solutions for the region.
