Fundación Internacional Bases

What Fundación Internacional Bases does

Fundación Internacional Bases is a non-profit Argentine think tank founded in 2004 in Rosario, dedicated to promoting individual liberty and free-market economics through the lens of Austrian School thought. Originally named Fundación Bases, it is led by President & CEO Federico N. Fernández and operates through a board of directors and a distributed research roster of roughly 20 Senior Research Fellows, Research Fellows, and Researchers based across Latin America (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, Panama, El Salvador). Its core products are intellectual rather than software: the biennial International Congress 'The Austrian School of Economics in the 21st Century' (running since 2006, alternating between Europe and Latin America), a one-year Online Program in Economics and Social Sciences delivered via Medium in cooperation with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, the Urban Observatory (urban policy research, launched 2017), and advocacy campaigns including Stop Maduro (2019) and Mala Educación (2022). The publication archive spans over 100 articles, policy briefs, and authored/compiled books.

The foundation has no proprietary technology platform, no software products, no APIs, and no AI/ML components; its distribution is purely content- and event-driven through its website (fundacionbases.org), YouTube channel, email newsletter, and an international delegate network covering 13 cities across 3 continents (Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay, USA, Austria, Poland, Israel). It is embedded in a dense global network of liberty-oriented organizations including Atlas Network, GTIPA, Somos Innovación, RELIAL, Property Rights Alliance, Friedrich Naumann Foundation, and We Are Innovation.

The business model is donation-funded: all publications, events, webinars, and educational content are offered free of charge, with revenue sourced from individual and organizational contributions. The foundation notes forthcoming cryptocurrency and PayPal donation rails. No revenue, headcount figures, or anchor donor disclosures are publicly available, and the entity is privately held with no parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or external funding rounds on record.
