How We Work
How We Work
Fiscal Sponsorship
Most Colombian organizations doing extraordinary work never reach U.S. donors — not because the work isn’t worthy, but because the legal infrastructure isn’t there.
Without 501(c)(3) status, no organization based in Colombia can receive tax-deductible contributions from the United States. That single structural gap shuts out an enormous source of international funding, regardless of impact or credibility.
Caring for Colombia exists to close that gap — connecting the intention to give with the people and projects that need it most.

CFC Grants
Supporting Our Partners Directly
Beyond fiscal sponsorship, CFC launches an open grant call for organizations within our network of allied foundations. These grants are funded directly by CFC and are designed to strengthen high-impact projects aligned with our mission. Grant calls are not always open. When a new cycle launches, we communicate it here on our website and through our partner channels. If you are part of our network, stay tuned for updates.
