Mission: ANF is a not-for-profit relief and development organization that provides opportunity to those affected by poverty in Nicaragua. Founded in 1992, ANF's work focuses on six program areas- education, health and nutrition, housing, water and sanitation, agriculture, and humanitarian aid-every day and during a crisis.
By working with partner organizations, ANF implements over 100 programs throughout Nicaragua each year, working toward the most vulnerable becoming self-sufficient and free of poverty. We believe in subsidiarity: finding local solutions to local problems, where decisions are made by the people closest to and most affected by a community's problems.
American Nicaraguan Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1993, and donations are tax-deductible.
