We are the Fondo Centroamericano de Mujeres Foundation (FCAM Foundation), a feminist organization that mobilizes resources to support women’s and feminist movements (in Central America, Latin America and other countries around the world, especially in the Global South) have access to the funds necessary to claim and defend human rights. We provide support through direct financing as well as non-financial support, such as accompaniment, advice, workshops, and others.
We are committed to contributing to the financial, political, physical, and emotional sustainability of those who make up social movements, particularly feminist and women’s movements. This commitment translates into providing multi-year financial support that allows organizations to envision and implement their plans so they respond to the needs and priorities of their contexts, including their care and well-being.
Vision
The vision that drives us is a world in which girls, women, trans and non-binary people, and the communities they inhabit enjoy dignified and fulfilling lives, in societies that center life.
The team
We are a diverse team of dedicated, committed and passionate people who work tirelessly to guarantee financial support and the strengthening of bold and visionary social movements.
Our board of directors has extensive experience in human rights, gender justice, social and systemic change, leadership, feminist economics, environmental justice, education, communication for social change and philanthropy for social change.
Values
The values that sustain us are based on feminist principles rooted in relationships of trust, honesty and transparency, where co-responsibility, solidarity, and respect with and for our donors, allied organizations and partners are foundational. We recognize that the organizations we support know their contexts and needs better than anyone and that they have an unmatched capacity to exert their agency as we work together to build more inclusive and fair communities and societies.
