About Us

The Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) believes in creating a hemisphere of opportunity, for all. We work across Latin America and the Caribbean to make our region stronger—healthy, safe, just, inclusive, resilient, productive, and sustainable for current and future generations. For nearly 60 years, we have served the most vulnerable communities, investing development resources throughout the hemisphere. We partner with and enable civil society, governments, and the private sector for the greater good of the region.


PADF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established by the Organization of American States (OAS).
