Because We Trust.

Established in 2021, the Luis von Ahn Foundation, a private foundation, is committed to a future where all Guatemalans are equally valued, can thrive and are able to fully exercise their human rights. We believe that the status of our democracy, social and economic development, and inclusive growth of our individuals and communities depend heavily on the advancement of women and girls and the protection of the environment they live in.

​

The Foundation seeks to support local community leaders and nonprofit organizations working on improving the lives of individuals, especially women and girls, in Guatemala.
