The project must fall under one of Tinker’s primary program areas:
Democratic Governance
Tinker seeks to build on and deepen this commitment by prioritizing projects focused on justice and rule of law. They will continue to review and consider other Democratic Governance projects on an ad hoc basis through our letter of inquiry process but anticipate focusing our resources on these core issues.
Education
Their grantmaking in the education area supports projects/programs that improve the access to and quality of secondary education in the region. While they prioritize projects focused on improving secondary education in Central American countries, they invite organizations from across the region to submit projects that aim to improve student learning, classroom teaching, or other measurable academic results. They support projects that are looking to prove, replicate, or scale their impact. Funds may be used to pilot new programs, to conduct applied research and evaluations that will facilitate replication or adoption of successful programs by policymakers, or to generate public and policy debate on the topic:
Access
Quality
Public Financing
Sustainable Resource Management
The Tinker Foundation’s work on the environment is focused on efforts that support sustainable management of habitat and resources and incorporate social and economic dimensions affecting the well-being of local communities. Projects will address these challenges at multiple levels ranging from engaging with policy makers, to capacity building, and standards development and implementation. Funding is available for projects that address one of the following key themes:
Promoting Sustainable Management Practices
Water
Funded activities may include, but are not restricted to, community engagement and capacity-building, applied research, measurement and evaluation activities, and workshops and conferences related to the Foundation’s areas of interest. They welcome collaboration among organizations in Latin America and prefer to fund institutions that are actively engaged with a broad array of stakeholders impacted by the identified challenge.
