The Tinker Foundation was created in 1959 by Dr. Edward Larocque Tinker. His lifelong interest in the Iberian tradition in the Old and New Worlds has directed the Foundation's focus on Latin America. Today, the Foundation has concentrated its interests on promoting equitable economic growth and public security, improving sustainable stewardship of the region's environmental resources, and increasing educational opportunities for children attending public primary and secondary schools. Additionally, and as a corollary to these priorities, the Foundation hopes to foster a better understanding of the region in the U.S. and of the impact of U.S. policies on Latin America; and to support the work of those engaged in research of environmental and governance issues in Antarctica.
