Tinker Foundation

The Tinker Foundation was established in 1959 by Edward Larocque Tinker, who believed that the wellbeing of the peoples of the Americas depended upon their mutual trust, friendship, and cooperation. Tinker's current mission is to promote the development of an equitable, sustainable, and productive society in Latin America, with a commitment to funding organizations based in the region. Through its grantmaking, Tinker supports work in the areas of democratic governance, education, and sustainable resource management.
