How We Work

Grantmaking

We make grants to proven local nonprofit organizations who help communities access greater economic opportunity.

Collaboration with PriceSmart

PriceSmart employees at all levels contribute expertise, time, and heart to our local partners and program participants.

Partnerships

We achieve more by working together with people, institutions and community-based organizations in our markets and across the region.

Our Approach to Partner Selection:

PriceSmart Foundation proactively identifies and engages local nonprofit organizations whose work aligns with our funding priorities. As a result, we do not accept unsolicited grant proposals or issue open calls for proposals.

We appreciate learning about organizations creating meaningful impact in the countries and communities where we work. If you would like to share information about your organization, please complete our contact form. While we are unable to respond to every inquiry, we will reach out if we believe there may be an opportunity to explore a potential partnership.

How We Expand Economic Opportunity

Supporting underserved young people to be better prepared for the workplace and/or self-employment through education, skill training, career guidance, and connections to work and entrepreneurship opportunities.

Small and Medium Business Growth

Helping local small and medium-sized enterprises owned by women and young people to access business training and tailored mentorship that facilitates better access to markets and finance, thus promoting business growth and job creation.
