Foundations Association

The Family and Bussiness Foundations Association (AFE in Spanish), is the professional association of the family and business foundations in Colombia. Its main objective is to support the strengthening of the associated foundations' developing abilities, by means of encouraging collaborative work amongst its foundations and promoting the influence of these organizations on public policies.

There are three axis that guide the AFE: 

To connect its associated foundations and, as such, to promote collaboration and facilitate dialogs, alliances and networks with strategic actors. Another main objective of this organization is to put the members’ crucial matters on the public agenda, just as to contribute to the strengthening of public policies and of the private sector practices. Finally, the last objective of the Association is to boost the capacities of its associates and to promote good practices to improve the quality of the individual and collective management processes.
