Guillermo Fernández de la Garza FUMEC CEO

The income from the Endowment serves as seed money and as a catalyst for programs that, once deemed viable, can seek funding from major public and private donors.  

The Foundation supports and promotes the development and implementation of projects within guidelines approved by the Board of Governors. FUMEC offers support in developing proposals and, together with participating institutions, helps to identify financial and human resources for the implementation of specific projects.

In order to build collaborative relationships between all stakeholders of a given project, the Foundation also facilitates communication with potential beneficiaries at the local level. These beneficiaries might include local leaders, community members or organizations that are able to promote the application of specific solutions.

Every two years the Foundation publishes a report with the achievements made in its working areas. The exercise to report FUMEC’s results is a commitment to systematically evaluate if we are fulfilling our fulfilling mission.
