Forum Americas is a non-partisan institution. It aims at advancing leaders of diverse backgrounds and providing them with the tools necessary to develop new and culturally appropriated responses to the challenges of modern societies.

The Forum is a non-profit, independent organization that functions thanks to philanthropic donations from individuals, academic institutions-like Harvard University-, from US, Canadian and Latin American companies, as well as in-kind contributions from institutions within the Inter-American system, like the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank and United Nations, for specific programs.
