At the core of the U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership's work is the value that through partnership and collaboration we will acquire greater strength in numbers and develop a stronger voice to affect sustained and positive change for the border region. In this way, the services and programs of the BPP must strengthen our members as individuals, as organizations, and as a regional partner by providing opportunities to connect, learn and collaborate on issues of common concern. BPP uses the power of working across sectors, convening nonprofits, government, business, and community members to create dignified spaces of exchange and action.
The U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership (BPP) is a binational membership organization whose mission is to support a network of organizations that build prosperity through leadership, collaboration, and philanthropy in the U.S.-Mexico Border region.

The BPP shares the Foundation Center’s initiative of reaching under-resourced and underserved populations, who need useful information and training to become successful grantseekers.
By joining forces, Foundation Center (the leading source of information about philanthropy worldwide) and the U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership, they will assist in expanding the Funding Information Network (FIN) to partners in select regions in the U.S.-Mexico border. The FIN will allow organizations to receive the tools they need to become a fundraising information hub in their communities. Network partners agree to provide free public access to the Center’s online databases and a basic collection of Foundation Center publications during a regular schedule of hours, offering free funding research guidance to all visitors. Many also provide a variety of other services for local nonprofit organizations, using staff or volunteers to prepare special materials, organize workshops, or conduct orientations. The free tools that network locations provide through their partnership with Foundation Center and BPP help grantseekers diversify their funding streams, manage their nonprofits, and ensure their organizations are financially sustainable. Through on-the-ground training, one-on-one assistance with databases and learning materials, and other capacity-building services, this alliance will help grantees and applicants position themselves for success.

Sponsor the Borderlands MapThe U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership (BPP) and Foundation Center have joined forces to develop a customized and interactive binational philanthropic database and mapping platform of the 10 Border State region. The borderland’s map will allow regional stakeholders to see who is funding in the region, what projects and initiatives are being funded, and where the funds are being invested in the 10 State region. The borderlands philanthropy map will provide critical knowledge to civil society leaders to better understand their field, make strategic choices, and strengthen their local community impact with greater charitable giving.
Projected Impact The customized interactive map will allow users to search thousands of grant opportunities from hundreds of foundations, and thousands of recipients. Ultimately, the borderlands map will facilitate bringing more charitable giving and grant opportunities to important causes, issues, and organizations in the borderlands. Benefits
