Corporate Giving Trends in the U.S. Mexico Border Region
In the Spring of 2005 the International Community Foundation (ICF), the Synergos Institute, Crossborder Business Associates, the Fundación Empresariado Sonorense, A.C. (FESAC), and El Paso Community Foundation (EPCF) undertook research of charitable corporate giving trends along the border to provide an initial assessment of general levels of giving by Mexico’s maquiladora industry to better understand their philanthropic policies; to identify and describe specific cases of outstanding community participation within the maquiladora sector; and to assess some of the outreach efforts of non-profit groups that are active in maquiladora communities. Over 800 maquiladora facilities were contacted in six Mexican Border States, with 110 maquiladora facilities of Fortune 500 and major third country multi-nationals participating anonymously in the study. The sample set represents 8.2 % of total maquila employment along Mexico’s northern border. Additionally, 50 Mexican border area nonprofit leaders were surveyed to gauge their perceptions of corporate giving in the region.
