We are Fundación Capital
An International Development Organization and Innovation Lab Driving Global Economic Citizenship. Founded in 2009, Fundación Capital works to create lasting and systemic change. Together with our partners, we design effective strategies that enhance the financial, digital, and economic well-being of communities living in poverty and vulnerability across Latin America and Africa.
With a people-centered approach, we amplify community-driven ideas to build sustainable livelihoods. As an agile innovation lab, we integrate a transformative gender lens, climate action, and data-driven strategies to develop scalable, localized solutions.
Advancing Economic Citizenship Globally at Scale
We believe in a world of autonomous, capable people who are free 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
Economic Inclusion and
Livelihoods
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 Have a Global Vision
The Strength of Our Partnerships
The power of our networks is the key to our impact. We build strong relationships with public and private organizations that share our vision of systemic change.
