Our FUTURE
San Miguel is changing rapidly. Tourism is rising. Global attention is increasing. The pressures of growth are real. So is the goodwill.
Our work now is to channel that goodwill responsibly, without losing the soul of this city.
The question is not whether generosity exists. It does, in abundance. The question is how to channel it responsibly and at scale.
This is how we protect what makes San Miguel magnetic. This is how we prepare for the next fifty years.

Our evolution
From Funder to Connector. From siloed to shared.
This 50th anniversary year is a chance to modernize the way we operate and to make generosity in Mexico feel clear, credible, and culturally grounded.

What we’re building
We’re determined to be an ever stronger bridge between donors, nonprofits, and the greater community. This anniversary year, we’re enacting a bold three-part plan to support San Miguel’s entire nonprofit ecosystem.
scalable
A model for community care. All boats rise.
San Miguel welcomes millions of visitors each year, from the San Miguel Forum, writers’ conferences, and cultural events. Many would gladly give back if shown a trusted pathway.
We are building that pathway.
By organizing nonprofits into a visible, collaborative Network, we reduce siloed competition and encourage shared stewardship. By elevating local artists and creatives, we ensure our movement reflects our city’s soul.
Our challenges are not unique: gentrification, economic disparity, diminishing resources; these are global problems.
Fortunately, our collective capacity for kindness, generosity, and love is infinite. We’re determined to build a replicable model that can work in cities across Mexico and beyond.
