Application

Tell us about your work.

This is for organizations already serving children and young people in Mexico or Colombia. It takes about ten minutes, costs nothing, and commits you to nothing.

Who can apply

Homes, and the programs around them

What this is, plainly. We are a small foundation just getting started, with our first installation going to Chiapas. We can only work with a few organizations, and an application is not a promise of funding. It is how a working relationship begins. Whatever happens, the whole library is already yours, free.

The application

Answer what you can

Your organization

Who we should write to

Who you serve

This helps us know where to start. Our manual is free either way.

Your work

There is no right answer. We ask everyone, and the reasoning matters more than the thing.
Not for a child-protection emergency. If a child is at risk right now, contact your local authority first: in Mexico, 911 and the Procuraduría de Protección de NNA; in Colombia, ICBF Línea 141, free and 24 hours.
Prefer to just write to us? elvia@lovelavida.org

Nothing becomes a commitment until both organizations sign a shared plan. We do not share what you tell us with anyone outside the foundation. Please do not send us a child’s name, photograph, case file or medical information. We do not need any of it, and we would have to delete it. Read how we work with partners.
