Overview

Mission

Panamerican exchange aims to foster dialogue among leaders across the western hemisphere. Panamerican exchange delivers on this mission by organizing digital communications, parliamentary delegations, and an annual panamerican congress that convenes those leaders to different locations throughout the americas.

What it reported doing in 2025

Chile: in august 2025, panamerican exchange supported the evacuation of 34 extremely vulnerable members of one family from gaza to chile, where they have been offered extensive local assistance across health, education, housing, and professional training. The family was already in direct contact with the government of chile, which made extensive preparations for their reunification on arrival to santiago. In order to receive a group of this size, a special reception team has been set up, composed of different organs of the government of chile committed to supporting the family in the health and education systems, providing spanish classes for language integration, and registering adults for job training programs. However, panamerican exchange identified the urgent need for funds to purchase tickets for the family group to be able to fly to the point of resettlement in chile. The whole project was funded with a one-time crowdfunding campaign for a special evacuation fund of $60,000 usd to cover all 34 family members in gaza.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and expenses are high relative to revenue.
