THE ATITLAN FUND

Unfortunately, this is not the first time fires have devastated forests in the Atitlán basin. Through our partnership with Asociación Amigos del Lago Atitlán, The Atitlan Fund is working to provide medium and long-term solutions by reforesting forests that have been devastated by deforestation and forest fires and through supporting prevention activities in the Atitlán basin... In 2017, we formed a 501(C)(3) tax-exempt organization in the United States to enable us to raise to provide financial resources to successful but underfunded programs and establish new ones backed by funding and experience in the Atitlan basin. This designation allows our donors to benefit from the tax deductible status of The Atitlan Fund through their gifts. We currently work with local NGOs, Amigos del Lago de Atitlan and Pintando El Cambio both with years of experience and a strong track record... We are a team of concerned citizens, volunteers and scientists who are focused on preserving and restoring..
