Fundación Compaz

What Fundación Compaz does

Fundación Compaz is a non-profit foundation headquartered in Bogotá, Colombia, dedicated to peacebuilding in territories most affected by the country's armed conflict. Founded in 2016 by former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos following his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize, the foundation operates two principal program pillars: (1) Strengthening Peacebuilding Leaders and Initiatives, delivered through training and certification programs such as AprendEPaz, Paz Verde, Emprendimientos sociales para la paz (Social Businesses for Peace), and Formación de líderes de Paz; and (2) Knowledge and Learnings about Peace, anchored by the Biblioteca Abierta del Proceso de Paz colombiano (Bapp), an interactive virtual knowledge center that documents the 2012-2016 negotiations between the Colombian government and FARC-EP, and the Puentes para la Reconciliación platform for reconciliation learning. The #LosRostrosDeLaPaz directory publicly profiles individual peacebuilding leaders and their initiatives across Colombia's conflict-affected territories.

The foundation's core technology consists of two digital knowledge platforms: Bapp, which aggregates historical archives, documents, photographs, videos, infographics, and pedagogical materials related to the Colombian peace process, and Puentes para la Reconciliación, a portal that connects peacebuilding stakeholders and shares reconciliation learning. These platforms are complemented by a curriculum-style training architecture delivered through certifications, workshops, and courses, and a communications layer spanning Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Flickr, plus a newsletter. The organization is staffed by a team of approximately 17 personnel covering executive leadership, project management, communications and strategic alliances, administration and finance, legal, research, design, audiovisual, and support functions.

Fundación Compaz operates as a donation-funded non-profit foundation registered under Colombia's Special Tax Regime (Régimen Tributario Especial) and accepts contributions through CAF America and direct channels. Its revenue model is classified as affiliate-referral in the source data, reflecting its dependence on donor funding rather than commercial products. The foundation has assembled a partner ecosystem of more than 17 institutional supporters, including seven core-tier partners: USAID, Sweden (Swedish development cooperation), PNUD (UNDP), OIM (IOM), German Cooperation, Ford Foundation, and Andes. Minor-tier partners include Grameen, RECON, Pacto, OYG, Open, NUC, Coschool, FIP (Fundación Ideas para la Paz), Gratitud, and Éxito. The foundation operates as a private non-profit entity with no parent company, no disclosed subsidiaries, no funding rounds, and no public revenue disclosures.
