WHAT IS
CARING FOR COLOMBIA
OUR MISSION
Caring For Colombia is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that connects U.S. donors with impactful social projects in Colombia. Since 2003, we have built strong relationships with local leaders and institutions, fostering transformation in the most vulnerable communities. Our focus areas include education, leadership, sustainability and culture.
We serve as a resource for Colombian residents, expats, and anyone motivated to support vulnerable communities in Colombia. Our mission is to provide donors with the tools, projects, and inspiration to contribute to Colombia’s transformation.
OUR VISION
We seek a more equitable Colombia that is guided by inclusive decision-making. A constant focus on identifying, developing, and monitoring high-impact projects will establish Caring for Colombia as the leading U.S.-based organization to promote inclusive and sustainable development in our country.
Donations to Caring for Colombia are tax-deductible in the U.S.
IMPACT
During the past 20+ years, our work has benefitted over 880.000 Colombians by empowering them and putting better opportunities within their reach.
We want to contribute to peace building in Colombia by improving vulnerable communities access to better health, education and arts, therefore they can become empowered citizens who are able to adapt to the XXI century.
In 2023 we obtained the Platinum Transparency Seal by Guide Star, the world’s largest source of nonprofit information. This year we maintain it and continue working in our transparency. It is an honor for us to be recognized by our hard work and commitment with social transformation in Colombia.
WE FOCUS ON
THREE PILLARS
Art
Arts are a powerful tool to forge community and surpass social barriers. They expand the ability to interact with the world and it also boosts self-confidence: making people feel empowered and comfortable. Check out some of the arts-related projects we support!
Health
Having access to good health conditions improves people’s cognitive processes and children’s abilities to learn. It also promotes physical growth and healthy development. Check out some of the health-related projects we support!
Education
We trust that a good school infrastructure, access to quality education and technology-focused programs, make it possible for disadvantaged youth and children to break the cycle of poverty. Check out some of the education-related projects we support!
