Fundación Bolivar Davivienda is the corporate foundation of Grupo Empresarial Bolivar , a large conglomerate with a significant presence in five core sectors of the Colombian economy. The foundation was formed in 2009 through a merger of two existing corporate foundations to manage philanthropic contributions in eight areas: Journalism, Democratic Institution Building, Family Life and Social Cohesion, Education, Health and Rehabilitation, Arts and Culture, Environment and Entrepreneurship. Through both core business activities and its corporate foundation, Grupo Empresarial Bolivar has developed a series of programs to support small and growing businesses in Colombia. Targeted at different phases of the business growth cycle, the programs include business plan competitions, targeted consulting, and entrepreneurial training.
