Sus motivos principales son:

  • La participación de actores públicos y privados de las relaciones entre España e Iberoamérica, como el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación, la Secretaría de Estado de Cooperación y multitud de empresas con participación en la región. La Fundación, por tanto, aparece como un ejemplo de las “asociaciones público-privadas” que se están promoviendo en la cooperación internacional al desarrollo.
  • La movilizacion de recursos privados para la cooperación con América Latina en los campos de la educación, la ciencia y la cultura, mediante las iniciativas y los programas de la Fundación..
