A Season of Gratitude: Creating a Better Region, Juntos

Dear Friend,

As we gather to reflect on gratitude this #Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of The Resource Foundation’s journey.

To our new partners and donors - thank you for your trust as we begin this shared mission together. To those who have supported us over the years, your unconditional belief in our work fuels everything we do.

This year, we’re especially excited about innovative collaborations with McKinsey & Co, Propel , Latimpacto , and 联想 , among others. Together, we are strengthening our commitment to ensure Latin America & the Caribbean does not fall behind during this new wave of technological advancements.

And to you - our readers - thank you for your commitment to the region.

We are grateful for your partnership and inspired by what we can achieve together.

Muchas gracias,

Beatriz Guillén | Executive Director | The Resource Foundation
