Annua l Report 2014 We Invest, Strengthen and Acknowledge Civil Society Organizations Photo: Pilar Campos. Proyecto Concentrarte, AC FUNDACIÓN MERCED Our Identity Mission History Merced Foundation was created in 1962, out of the concern of the Munguía family to formalize their philanthropic commitment to promote the development of the country. In 1986, they donated all their patrimony, including La Cubana chocolate factory and Hermun Real Estate Company, to consolidate their cause. In 2012, the Institution celebrated 50 years of service in favor of Mexican society. We generate social capital with ethical values, promoting the professionalization and impact of civil society organizations and the comprehensive development of individuals and communities in order to tackle the structural causes of poverty in Mexico, towards greater equity. Vision Merced Foundation is an organization of excellence, constantly evolving and growing; a leader and example in generating social capital models in the Third Sector.

The National Council for Evaluation of Social Development Policy (CONEVAL), indicates that between 2010 and 2012 the percentage of people living in poverty fell from 46.1% to 45.5%, but the absolute number increased from 52.8 to 53.3 million people. 61.6% of the rural population and 72.3% of the indigenous population live in poverty. Between the end of 2012 and the end of 2014 there has been a steady increase in the Poverty Labor Trend Index of between 6.5 and 7 percentage points, meaning it is highly probable the 2014 survey will show that poverty has not decreased, but rather increased. Between 2005 and the present, the downward trend in figures for both poverty and homelessness has been especially notable in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. Mexico, meanwhile, is one of the few countries in the region that has not succeeded in reducing the level of poverty or homelessness over the same period, despite the fact there are some 275 social programs implemented by the federal government, and almost 2,300 programs if we take into account those run by state and municipal governments. For countries that have succeeded in reducing poverty, the most important variables associated to poverty reduction are: economic growth, wage increases, and job creation—not implementation of social programs. Despite the actions undertaken and large amounts of resources invested, poverty and inequality are increasing rather than falling. 04 Given this fact, the participation of companies, government, and civil society organizations is all the more important. Given this fact, the participation of companies, government, and civil society organizations is all the more important for seeking solutions and implementing actions that enable the formation of a common front to overcome both the causes and consequences of poverty in Mexico. By generating economic and social conditions, society will enable millions of citizens living in poverty and extreme poverty to achieve a minimum level of wellbeing. For this reason, focuses its intervention strategy on establishing alliances with companies, institutions and national and international organisms in order to Invest, Strengthen and Acknowledge community development actions undertaken by social organizations. These efforts contribute to improving living conditions of people disregarded by government social programs or who, even if they do receive support, are unable to break out of the vicious circle of poverty. The challenge for Fundación Merced is to work with organizations to develop models that foster community development as a solution to addressing poverty. Pilar Parás President of the Board 05 Social Investment We invest in social organizations that deal directly with people living in poverty and vulnerability conditions. To achieve this, we develop and implement innovative programs to mobilize economic resources of national and international companies and organizations towards social organizations in an effective and transparent manner, in order to contribute to grassroots development and the generation of social capital in Mexico. This year we operated five Social Investment Programs $ 8,427,807 mobilized 47 organizations 19 states and the Federal District 15,873 people We also established a new alliance with Qpagos to develop and operate a new Social Investment Program called QPAGOS por la Niñez (QPAGOS for Childhood), aimed to support social organizations that improve the quality of live and comprehensive development of children. 06 Partners and Allies Organizations Supported $ Financial resources $ Program Sustainable Innovation BBVA Bancomer Foundation Investing in Community Foundations of Mexico Total Beneficiaries 6 1,611,871 2,045 14 1,124,553 10,000 18 985,664 2,004 5 3,337,613 1,353 4 1,368,106 2,337 47 8,427,807 15,873 07 Sustainable Innovation Sustainable Innovation BBVA Bancomer Foundation This program contributes to reducing poverty in a population center or area in conditions of socioeconomic vulnerability through integrated sustainable development strategies that promote a favorable social development, expand economic opportunities, and contribute to improving the environment. 1,611,871 6 organizations Beneficiaries: 1,186 people 613 families 25 communities El Hombre Sobre la Tierra, A.C. 08 $ Investing in Community Foundations of Mexico We mobilize national and international resources aimed at building capacities of fourteen Community Foundations in Mexico.
