Alterna
We’re proud to support Alterna, and its mission to catalyze transformative businesses from the ground up.
Alterna is a social innovation platform that aims to transform critical systemic gaps into exceptional opportunities across five countries in Central America. Through its unique cultivation approach and business accompaniment services, Alterna works with entrepreneurs and impact driven ventures to unleash their potential.
Devoted to generating lasting change, Alterna provides entrepreneurs and micro-, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) with access to opportunities and an ecosystem in which they can thrive. Alterna also nurtures an ecosystem to work on a systemic level, linking allies with complementary services for entrepreneurs, developing projects to create a data and learning driven community.
Funded by CAF America on behalf of the Target Foundation, the grant is being used over three years to support Alterna’s strategic efforts to provide curated services and support for historically underserved entrepreneurs – delivering both direct training to entrepreneurs and training, supporting, and partnering with complementary organizations.
