Introduction
The National Philanthropic and Civic Society Organizations Poll
of Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) confirmed
that people do not donate due to a lack of awareness and
confidence, and the fact that civil society organizations lack
professionalism.
ITAM presented the following chart of the number of Civil
Society Organizations for every 10,000 citizens.

The study showed that less than 7% of the third sector
grant making in Mexico comes from private donations, in
contrast to the 12.5% average of other studied countries.
Fondo de Estrategia Social, A.C. (FES) is a civil organization
created in 2004 and incorporated in 2006 as a community
foundation fund that responds to the great need to change and
promote philanthropic culture in Mexico.
A study conducted by Johns Hopkins University which included
36 developed and developing countries in Latin America,
Europe and Africa, confirmed the vulnerable position regarding
financial sustainability of Civil Society Organizations in Mexico.
