    About Strachan Foundation

    The Strachan Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on education and economic development in Latin America, privileging institutional support for business schools and vocational/skills programs. Its grants are large and targeted, suggesting a preference for transformative investments in a small number of organizations that build managerial capacity and youth opportunity across the region. Although based in Coral Gables, FL, its giving footprint appears international and issue-focused rather than broadly distributed.

    Focus Areas

    Graduate business education in Central America (e.g., INCAE)Undergraduate/technical economics and entrepreneurship training (business schools like ESEN)Youth skills development and scholarship programs (e.g., Programa Superate)

    Who They Fund

    low-income childrengirls and young womenteenagers/youthrural communitiesresidents of Central America / international students

    Giving Approach

    Concentrated, high-dollar grants to a small set of institutional grantees in Latin America rather than many small donations; one very large flagship gift with two additional substantial awards.

    About Strachan Foundation

    A $504,000 grant to Incae Business School anchors Strachan Foundation’s recent giving and shows the scale at which it supports education and economic development in Latin America. The foundation’s largest grant in the current list was followed by $150,000 to Esen Escuela Superior De Economia Y Negocios and $88,000 to Programa Superate - Fundacion Sagre, pointing to a pattern of institutional support rather than many small awards. Its work centers on business education, youth skills, scholarships, and community-based education and health programs across Central America. The recipient names in the recent-grants list also show a mix of schools, scholarship programs, and local nonprofits serving children, teenagers, and low-income women. Grants such as those to United World College Costa Rica, Fundacion Calicanto, and Fundacion Accion Joven suggest an emphasis on leadership formation, access to schooling, and pathways into work. The foundation’s grantmaking is structured around a relatively small set of targeted awards, often tied to capacity building, education, or direct program support.

    What Strachan Foundation Funds

    In graduate and tertiary education, Strachan Foundation backed Incae Business School with $504,000 for education and Esen Escuela Superior De Economia Y Negocios with $150,000 for business and economics programs. It also supported United World College Costa Rica with $12,500 to bring students from around the world, which fits its interest in higher education and international learning environments. Beyond schools, the foundation gave $88,000 to Programa Superate - Fundacion Sagre for education, and $15,000 to Fundacion Accion Joven for a youth employment program. Health and child welfare also appear in the recent record: American Baptist Foreign Mission received $37,500 for community health, and Libras De Amor received $30,000 to feed malnourished children. Smaller awards show additional program variety, including literacy, computing, and women’s health.

    How Strachan Foundation Gives

    Typical awards cluster in the five-figure range, with p25 at $10,000, a median of $13,000, and p75 at $19,688. The recent grants list also includes several larger institutional awards, but most grants stay within that band. The foundation uses a letter-of-inquiry and invitation process for at least some of its programs, and it funds through general grants, scholarship slots, and capacity-building support. Recipients appear across multiple years in the recent list, including Eric Reiche Scholarship in 2023 at two amounts, which suggests some continued relationships rather than one-off awards. Strachan Foundation also funds individuals, and it does not make program-related investments.

    Where Strachan Foundation Makes Grants

    Grant recipients are concentrated in Central America, with the recent-grants list showing locations in Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua, Guatemala, and one grant tied to a Latin America-wide scholarship structure. San Jose appears repeatedly, along with San Salvador, Tegucigalpa, Panama City, and Managua. The recipient country distribution in the available data is entirely US-tagged because the recipient records are formatted with the US country code, but the city names indicate the foundation’s giving is aimed at Central American organizations and institutions rather than Florida-based groups. No grants in the recent list go to recipients in Florida.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Strachan Foundation

    What kinds of organizations does Strachan Foundation support?

    It funds education, health, capacity building, youth development, and community development groups, with a strong emphasis on Central America. Recent recipients include business schools, scholarship programs, youth employment groups, and nonprofits serving children and low-income communities.

    How does Strachan Foundation make grants?

    For some programs, it uses a letter-of-inquiry and invitation process. The foundation asks prospective applicants to submit an LOI to the Executive Director, and if there is a fit, it invites a full proposal. Some of its programs also accept unsolicited inquiries.

    What is a typical grant size?

    The middle of the distribution is in the low five figures: p25 is $10,000, the median is $13,000, and p75 is $19,688. The recent list also shows larger institutional awards, including a $504,000 grant and a $150,000 grant.

    Does Strachan Foundation fund scholarships?

    Yes. The scholarship-related record includes support for low-income students and women, plus scholarship slots through partner institutions. Recent grants include $25,000 for scholarships for low income and $18,750 for scholarships for low income women.

    Does the foundation support recurring grantees?

    Yes. The recent grants list includes Eric Reiche Scholarship twice in 2023, at $27,000 and $13,500. That pattern suggests some repeat support rather than only one-time awards.
