These incorporations express the continuity of the RACI mission that, for more than ten years, periodically joins new organizations as members with the objective of enriching and expanding its diversity and heterogeneity.

The New Zealand Embassy in Mexico Fund Call For Proposals

Proposal

The New Zealand Embassy Fund in Mexico is a program that allows flexible support for projects that clearly and directly contribute to the elimination of poverty, and that have a high impact on the socioeconomic development of the community.

The projects must be in line with the mission of the New Zealand Embassy Fund, which seeks “sustainable development in developing countries, in order to reduce poverty and contribute to a more secure, equitable, and prosperous world.”

For its 2019-2020 call, the New Zealand Embassy invites NGOs and community groups to present project proposals in the areas of:

  • Education (particularly of women and indigenous communities)
  • Climate change and resilience
  • Food security
  • Disaster relief
  • Community economic development (particularly indigenous and rural communities)
  • Sustainable agricultural development

It’s essential that the projects are sustainable and that the beneficiaries are involved in their execution and maintenance.

The call is open for organizations in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba.

  • On-site visits
  • Non-requested donations
  • Individual student scholarships
  • International travels/participation in conferences abroad

The selected projects must complete a partial progress report and a final report.

The payments will be made in 3 (three) installments, as laid out in the following table:

Charity Data: a tool to get to know the Canadian Third Sector

On August 7th, Mark Blumberg – an expert in Canadian philanthropy – gave a talk to the members of RACI regarding how philanthropy works in Canada, what are the different work options for an organization and how you can work with a foreign organization.

One of the available tools to explore these possibilities is the website www.charitydata.ca. This site is part of a network of websites managed by the law firm Blumbergs, based in Toronto, Canada, recognized for providing legal advice to nonprofit associations and information to foreign associations that are interested in operating or raising funds in Canada.

www.charitydata.ca is a platform responsible for providing information on charitable associations based in Canada, as revealed by those organizations in their annual statements to the Canadian State. From this platform, users can identify the different Canadian organizations by their name, type of organization, income and location.

In addition, one can identify which organizations receive more money and have the greatest expenditure abroad. Among these first five are World Vision Canada, MasterCard Foundation, Plan International Canada, Care Canada and International Development Research Centre. The main areas in which these organizations invest are in health, poverty reduction and inclusion and economic development.

To learn more about Canadian organizations, their sizes, their approaches, their complexities and challenges, visit www.charitydata.ca.
