About Us

We promote social investment in Argentina

Since 2002, more than 25 million dollars have been invested in the social sector

"We have expanded the scope of our mission from Argentina to the rest of LatAm. Operationally we changed the name of our parent organization to PILAS but HelpArgentina continues to operate exactly as before in Argentina."

Portal for Investment in the Latin American Social Sector (PILAS dba 'HelpArgentina') is a nonprofit organization that promotes international social investment in Argentina since 2002. Our goal is to strengthen the nonprofits that work to create a social change in Argentina, by increasing confidence in the Argentina social sector and promoting the culture of giving among the inhabitants of our nation.

We only work with organizations that meet criteria of transparency and good practice, providing a safe and efficient infrastructure to receive donations. Portal for Investment in the Latin American Social Sector is registered in New York as a nonprofit organization - in accordance with article 501(c)(3) of the U.S. tax code. We are registered under EIN 550790450 - as such donations from taxpayers of this country are deductible from taxes.

How We Make a Difference

We use our deep understanding of the critical social issues in Argentina to identify the organizations that are highly effective in addressing these issues.

We invite organizations that meet our standards for best practice and transparency to join our network. By partnering with a diverse range of charitable organizations, we assure that donors can support the causes that matter to them - from education to hunger, from Norte to Patagonia, we can help you support the causes that you care about.

We provide information and advice that help both individuals and institutions identify the organizations and causes that align with their interests – our website provides detailed information about our member organizations and offers a secure and easy platform for online donations.

We offer customized services to help you make the most of your giving - tell us what you want to support and we will identify options, facilitate the donation, monitor progress and report the results.
