This is a case study from the series Process and Techniques of Foundation-Building: Experiences from Eight Organizations in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
It examines the formation, financing and programs of the Mexican Foundation for Rural Development, which was established in 1963 by business leaders and Catholic clergy to channel funds toward social development.
The preparation of this series of case studies was made possible by support from the Ford Foundation, the Aspen Institute, the C.S. Mott Foundation and the Compton Foundation.
