Our policies for receiving donations
Our Foundation’s policies do not permit receiv ing donations that come from national or foreign individuals or legal entities that have been linked to legal proceedings related to money laundering and terrorist financing behaviors or that are on restrictive lists adopted by Colombia, such as the Clinton list, as well as institutions or individuals from countries immersed in such restrictive lists. The Foundation reserves the right to accept donations from national or foreign natural or legal persons at its sole discretion. For this reason, before accepting a donation, we verify the origin of the resources of the people who donate to us.
We emphasize that donating to our Foundation does not imply participating in organizational decisions, nor influencing the focus, scope and results of our research. Our operations and research are completely independent of the motivations of the donors. To avoid conflicts of interest, especially in the field of our research, we do not accept funding from organizations with purposes opposed to those of IMEK Research Center in Marketing & Development. This includes, for example, refraining from receiving donations from the tobacco industry, companies in the alcoholic beverage industry, and pharmaceutical companies.
