This visit offers a unique opportunity to experience how Manizales, nestled in Colombia’s Coffee Cultural Landscape, has become a demonstrative case of cross-sector collaboration in education. Through conversations with local leaders, school visits, and reflective workshops, participants will explore how philanthropy can be reimagined as a collective, evidence-based investment. The experience aims to inspire stakeholders across the social, public, academic, and private sectors to co-create sustainable solutions that strengthen educational ecosystems throughout Latin America.

The Urabá region in Antioquia is emerging as a strategic area for Colombia’s development due to its geographic location, port-logistics potential, and agro-exporting vocation. Despite historical challenges related to infrastructure, services, and equity, the region is home to innovative cross-sector partnerships and resilient community processes that are transforming realities. The “Harvesting Collaborative Bets” initiative brings together actors such as Unibán, Fundación Grupo Argos, Comfama, Fundación Greenland, Puerto Antioquia, and other partners to drive integrated projects with collective impact in areas such as mental health, youth employability, education, infrastructure, environmental sustainability, and social leadership.
This field visit offers a unique opportunity to witness how collaborative efforts are being implemented, integrating economic development, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability in one of the country’s most promising regions. Through dialogue with community, business, and public leaders, participants will gain insights into how territorially legitimate solutions are built, how large-scale resources are mobilized through partnerships, and how innovations are being developed to address real challenges in the territory.
An experience that inspires, connects, and creates pathways to strengthen collective impact.

Fundación Grupo Social, Fundación Santo Domingo, ISA Impact, and Trófica are pleased to invite you to a social impact experience in Cartagena, on September 4,5, and 6. During the event, we will tour the territory to learn about initiatives in territorial development, social innovation, and impact investment that are significantly transforming the lives of vulnerable communities in the city and surrounding rural areas. This experience has been designed for people and organizations committed to partnership and comprehensive community development. Through an experiential approach, we will walk with local leaders, listen to their voices, and witness the transformation processes that are emerging in the territory as a result of the empowerment work that each of these four organizations has been carrying out.
