# The 39 largest foundations in Colombia

Tamtam tracks 39 foundations headquartered in Colombia. This list ranks all of them by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Fundación Valle del Lili, Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogota and Banco de las Microfinanzas - Bancamia S.A.. Their median headcount is 374. Half of them were founded in 1984 or later. The most common headquarters are Bogotá (14), Medellín (8) and Cali (5).

The foundations in Colombia are mostly large organizations, with a strong presence in healthcare and education. Many were established between the 1970s and 1990s. For example, Fundación Valle del Lili is a high-complexity hospital, Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogota focuses on high-impact health management, and Fundación Universitaria Luis Amigo provides higher education with a social conscience.

Beyond healthcare and education, other sectors are represented. Banco de las Microfinanzas - Bancamia S.A. is a microfinance bank supporting microenterprises, and Colmena Seguros offers insurance services. A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Bogotá, Cali, Floridablanca, and Medellín, indicating key regional centers for these foundational activities.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
