Governance in reponse to institutional expansion at Fondo Acción

Fondo para la Acción Ambiental y la Niñez (Fondo Acción) is a foundation created in 2000 and based in Bogotá, Colombia.

Over the last 13 years, Fondo Acción has evolved from managing one original fund to now managing more than 15 different accounts for a diverse set of clients. This case study focuses on the types of governance structures that have been created throughout Fondo Acción’s expansion, the relation between these structures, and how Fondo Acción achieves a balanced repartition of roles and responsibilities between its different governance and executive bodies.
