Learning Exchanges
Through CCA’s Learning Exchanges, community foundations pair up across countries in the Americas to learn, listen, and co-create. Supported by a $4,000 stipend, each exchange unfolds over 6–8 months of shared experiences, challenges, and inspiration for their local work—virtually and in person.
"Our participation in the Learning Exchange has been a defining experience in our organization’s learning journey. We witnessed firsthand how other foundations across the continent are mobilizing local resources, strengthening community governance, and connecting their territories through a regenerative and collaborative vision. We returned to Arequipa with tools, ideas, and—above all—with relationships that reinforce our sense of network." - Fundación Territorial Arequipa-NosXotros
