Regional
programs
The Foundation
works throughout the entire hemisphere via two
innovative regional programs. PADF's In-Kind
Donation program connects companies,
hospitals and other major organizations with
communities that need donated products.
Meanwhile, its Disaster Management and Emergency
Response Program is a conduit so
companies can quickly help communities that
were devastated by a natural disaster or
humanitarian crisis. Click

programs.
PADF, which was
created in 1962, is an affiliate of the Organization of
American States (OAS).
