    About Partners of the Americas

    Partners of the Americas Inc. centers a mix of farmer-to-farmer technical assistance, student scholarships, and workforce-related grants, with individual awards reaching up to $389,553 in the recent grant list. That scale shows up in two especially clear threads: large farmer support grants to groups such as High Atlas Foundation and Grameen Foundation USA, and scholarship funding that has gone to universities including The University of Tennessee and Purdue University. The foundation also supports labor and development work through DOL-related grants, alongside education, literacy, child protection, and community exchange programs. Its grantmaking is strongly programmatic and project-specific. Recent awards include both support for technical assistance models and funding tied to higher education exchange, community projects, and monitoring and evaluation work. The portfolio also includes restricted and endowment-based support through the Partners Foundation structure, as well as smaller seed funding for literacy and youth projects. Across the recent grants, the same operational pattern appears repeatedly: funding for defined projects, exchanges, or service activities rather than open-ended general support. The organization’s stated mission is to connect people and organizations across and within borders to serve and change lives, and the grant record reflects that cross-border, partnership-based approach.

    What Partners of the Americas Funds

    Agriculture is a major theme in the recent grant list. Partners of the Americas Inc. gave $389,553 to High Atlas Foundation for Farmer to Farmer Support Grant work, and $365,963 to Grameen Foundation USA for the same grant type, pointing to sustained support for peer-to-peer technical assistance in agriculture and food security. Education shows up through higher-education and scholarship funding. The University of Tennessee received $234,809 for a Student Scholarship Grant, while Purdue University received $213,543 for the same purpose. The foundation also backs exchange-oriented education work through programs tied to the Americas, including higher education partnerships and student exchange. Labor and workforce development are present as well. Social Accountabiility International Inc-sai received $206,687 for a DOL Support Grant, reflecting funded work connected to labor support initiatives and workforce development. Community and civic engagement appear in the grant portfolio through project-based support for local and cross-cultural activities, consistent with the organization’s chapter-driven model.

    How Partners of the Americas Gives

    Recent awards show a wide spread in size, from a p25 of $27,938 to a median of $97,983 and a p75 of $210,115. The largest listed grant is substantially above that upper quartile, while many awards cluster around scholarship and project support levels in the tens of thousands. The record also shows repeat funding relationships: Grameen appears in multiple years, as do Purdue University, University of Tennessee, Convoy of Hope, Engineers Without Borders USA, Crdf Global, and Social Accountabiility International Inc-sai. That pattern suggests ongoing, program-specific funding rather than one-off gifts. The foundation’s structure includes Partners Foundation grants and endowment funds, along with project-based program grants; some opportunities accept unsolicited applications, while others are restricted to members or specific programs.

Other recipient cities that recur include New York, NY; Knoxville, TN; West Lafayette, IN; and Arlington, VA. The geographic pattern is national, with awards spread across university, nonprofit, and technical-assistance recipients rather than concentrated in one metro area.
