The Solidarity and Social Investment Fund (FOSIS) was created in 1990 as a decentralized public agency of independent legal status and budget from the Chilean Government.

FOSIS finances – entirely or partially - plans, programs, projects, and special development activities contributing to reduce poverty nationwide. It therefore works in specific communities and areas with high levels of poverty concentration and/or high social exclusion indicators.

FOSIS´s goal is aimed at solving income issues, improve quality of life and/or help to strengthen the underprivileged capabilities and skills.

The mission FOSIS has set forth for itself is “Contribute to the country´s efforts to overcome poverty, providing original solutions on topics, areas and provide complimentary viewpoints to the issues and approaches set forth by other government agencies”.
