The aim of this article is to analyze the feasibility of a Domestic Resource Mobilization approach for the advancement of social movement causes in Latin America. Basically, the quest is focused on understanding whether Social Movement Organizations (SMO) operating in the region could mobilize the resources –funds and labor- of domestic elite instances in order to favor their beneficiary bases. This idea is contrasted with resource mobilization processes that privilege foreign political, financial and human transactions to advance social movement causes: basically, those inherent to the Foreign Aid Regime. Starting from an overview of the latter’s principles, its overall effect in developing countries and specific impact in the performance of Latin American SMOs, the article further organizes theoretical and factual elements that provide a moderately positive perspective regarding the feasibility of a Domestic Resource Mobilization approach by non-profit organizations in Latin America.
