What is PAHO Foundation?
PAHO Foundation, formerly known as PAHEF (Pan American Health and Education Foundation), works as the philanthropic
arm of the Pan American Health Organization to mobilize resources and promote the advocacy and strategic agenda of PAHO.
The Foundation is led by a board of directors comprised of health experts, business leaders, and philanthropists with expertise
in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Foundation is incorporated as a 501 c 3 organization governed by the laws impacting
charitable organizations in the United States.
What is the Foundation’s mission?
The Foundation fully supports PAHO’s mission of promoting equity in health, combating disease, and improving the health,
longevity and quality of life of all the peoples of the Americas.
How does the PAHO Foundation determine which projects to mobilize resources for
and fund?
Each year we work with the leadership of PAHO through the PAHO/PAHO Foundation Planning Coordinating Committee (PPPCC) to
identify priority areas in which to focus our efforts. The PPPCC meets quarterly, and we collectively determine the priorities.
Then, the experts at PAHO Foundation, along with PAHO’s External Relations, Partnerships, and Governing Body, further review
the projects. PAHO’s Board of Directors ultimately decides which projects become priorities.
