Project Joy Panama Helps Families Overcome Economic Challenges

An experienced businessman and entrepreneur, Hilt Tatum IV serves as president of the Switzerland-based private equity firm iPoint Capital Partners. Outside of his professional responsibilities, Hilt Tatum IV also founded the nonprofit group Project Joy Panama.

Launched in 2007, Project Joy Panama is a charitable organization that seeks to support underprivileged families in the Central American country. A significant number of families throughout the country are poverty-stricken and lack educational opportunities. Project Joy Panama provides aid to families in the form of food, school supplies, and donations. While the organization has several initiatives, its primary goals are to help children with their educational development, ensure they remain on path to complete college, and assist them with securing gainful employment. Backed by the Oxford Consulting Group, Project Joy Panama’s premier fundraising event is its annual Christmas charity drive, which provides families with a Christmas Eve dinner and gifts for their children.
