Resources for Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)

This page is intended to facilitate U.S. Embassy outreach to U.S.-linked organizations operating in Nicaragua.  It is also a venue for sharing information and resources among NGOs.  There are countless U.S.-linked humanitarian, faith-based, service, and non-profit organizations doing valuable work in Nicaragua.  These organizations are linked to the United States through funding, volunteers, donations, etc.  Groups are encouraged to share information about their organization by filling out an NGO Quick Information Sheet.  This will make the Embassy aware of your efforts and will only be shared with outside organizations upon your approval.  If you have suggestions or submissions for this web page, please email ngoinfo@state.gov.
