We open doors for Guatemalan nonprofits so they can have a greater impact in their communities.

When Guatemala’s 36 year civil war ended in 1996, the country’s severely weakened institutions were unable to provide satisfactory public services to the broader population.

Today, these inefficient systems continue to affect Guatemalan communities at every level of society. The results include widespread corruption, mass migration, continued discrimination against indigenous populations, chronic child malnutrition, human rights abuses, gang violence, and food insecurity.

In order to fill the gaps that the Government can’t satisfy, the nonprofit sector has exploded to over 15,000 organizations, the majority of whom operate with low visibility, oversight, or transparency.

With so many nonprofits, it is difficult to know which ones to support. This is where Pionero Philanthropy can help. We have organized and verified the data on Guatemala’s nonprofit sector so those looking to support the country can do so with confidence.
