ABOUT THE U.S.-MEXICO FOUNDATION

The U.S. Mexico Foundation (USMF) is a binational non-profit organization dedicated to fostering cooperation and bilateral understanding between the United States and Mexico. Rooted in the North America Free Trade Agreement, the organization was founded in 2001 and began operations in 2004 with seed capital from the David & Lucile Packard Foundation, Carnegie Corporation and FUNDEMEX.

The USMF is governed by a binational board consisting of business and civic leaders, with extensive networks in the U.S. and Mexico. The USMF embarked on a new chapter in 2018, with a compelling agenda that prioritizes policy and advocacy. The organization is focused on creating new strategic alliances, educating important stakeholders, and providing a voice on the most relevant issues concerning the U.S.-Mexico relationship.

Our Vision is to be an effective bridge for greater binational understanding and cooperation, contributing to improved quality of life and social equity in Mexico.

Our Mission is to promote binational understanding and collaboration between the United States and Mexico.

We execute our mission in two different ways:
* Operating programs and creating research documents with recommendations.
* Promoting constructive dialogue on key topics of binational interest.
