We are Fundación Capital
An international development organization and an innovation lab that drives global economic citizenship. We started in 2009 to create lasting and systemic change. Together with our partners, we design effective strategies that improve the financial, digital, and economic well-being of communities living in poverty and vulnerability in Latin America and Africa.
With a people-centered approach, we scale up the ideas that emerge from communities to generate sustainable livelihoods. As an agile innovation lab, we integrate a transformative gender lens, climate action, and data strategy to create localized solutions at scale.
Impulsamos Ciudadanía Económica Globalmente y a Escala
We believe in a world of autonomous, capable, and free people who are able to make informed decisions and achieve their own development and well-being. Thus, our initiatives and digital solutions aim to create the economic, financial, social, and digital conditions for the free development of their autonomy.
Pillars of work
Inclusión Económica y
Medios de Vida
We facilitate access, build capacity and connect the populations we work with to systems that generate economic opportunity, income and employability. At the core of our work is the Graduation Program, a multi-faceted approach with proven impact in reducing extreme poverty and creating sustainable economic opportunities.
We share a global vision
The strength of our alliances
The power of our networks is key to our impact. We build strong relationships with public and private organizations that share our vision of systemic change.
