The US-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership (BPP) is a binational membership organization that brings together individuals and institutions from the US and Mexico that serve in, and care about the US-Mexico border region. It provides tools and opportunities to strengthen members’ ability to pursue and achieve their individual missions in the border, by offering cross-regional networking, learning, professional and organizational development tools, products and services to our members. BPP members are individuals and institutions that are located on the border or outside of the region. We share a common vision and commitment for a thriving border region.
The Council on Foundations (COF) is a non-profit membership association of foundations and grant-making institutions internationally. This website contains information pertaining to the interests and needs of community foundations. Their members do not fund gender specific projects. The FWF is not a member of the Council, but our partners in the U.S./Mexico Border Philanthropy Alliance are members.
