About HelpArgentina

Our Mission

HelpArgentina is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen Argentine civil society through the mobilization of donors and volunteers and the promotion of best practices.

How We Work

HelpArgentina works as a bridge connecting a community of donors and volunteers from all over the world to organizations in the Argentine social sector.

Mobilization of the International Community

The first element of this model is the HelpArgentina Community without Borders: a global community of social investors, social ambassadors and on-site volunteers whose work supports a network of over 50 Argentine social organizations. There are many ways to get involved:

HelpArgentina Night, an annual event where social ambassadors host private dinners all over the world to raise funds for the social cause of their choice;
The HelpArgentina Award, an award that recognizes the work of dedicated social ambassadors who have driven social change in Argentina by mobilizing the international community;
InsightArgentina, a program that facilitates volunteerism in HelpArgentina's member organizations and uses the volunteer experience as a platform for developing lasting relationships with the social sector;
HelpArgentina Traveler, an initiative that allows those traveling within Argentina to donate to HelpArgentina simply by choosing to travel with participating travel agencies;
The Argentine Venture Philanthropy Fund, a program that combines venture capital with the mission-driven principles of civil society, coordinating groups of professionals that support the growth and development of the member organization of their choice for a cycle of two years.

The Bridge

The second element is the bridge itself, an Online Social Investment Marketplace through which anyone can access information about HelpArgentina's member organizations. Potential donors can choose the organization or social issue they want to invest in and complete the process online through a fast, secure and tax-deductible donation. Thanks to this innovative tool, the activities of all member organizations are given equal visibility and equal opportunity to attract support.

Strengthening Argentina's Social Sector

The third element is social sector capacity-building. HelpArgentina works with a network of more than 50 social organizations selected according to social impact, accountability and best practice criteria. In addition to providing a secure and simple channel to receive donations from abroad, HelpArgentina promotes the use of this and other tools to strengthen these institutions. HelpArgentina works to develop best practices standards through consensus-driven collaboration with many Argentine civil society organizations.
