Nuestro STEM Fund Latimpacto is built around collaborative impact philanthropy and modeled as a Clustered Philanthropy Fund, inspired by the success of a similar initiative in Asia, driven by our sister network AVPN.

What is a pooled fund?

In a pooled fund, multiple donors make grants to a single entity to achieve a more significant and coordinated impact on an issue. Through this aggregation, donors learn to work together and draw common learnings around a specific impact model.

Los recursos proporcionados se combinan para crear un fondo más grande, y los donantes participantes recomiendan conjuntamente cómo estos fondos pueden desplegarse para generar un impacto convincente y duradero en diferentes organizaciones.
