Fundación Banorte has reinvested the benefits of two decades of successful financial intermediation back into society through over 250 partnerships

Several Mexican companies have stepped up their initiatives to aid vulnerable populations in recent years. These efforts extend beyond mere donations—which remain essential—to the establishment of programs featuring reliable metrics and investments aimed at tackling a range of social issues.

Banorte is an entity that has set itself apart for this kind of support, and it is celebrating the first 20 years of the Banorte Foundation this week.

Our discussion centers on the Banorte Foundation’s impact over the past 20 years, which has aided thousands through 250+ strategic partnerships and has fostered awareness of corporate social responsibility in Mexico—a nation where poverty affects at least one-third of its citizens.

What matters is that Fundación Banorte has developed into a comprehensive model built on five pillars: housing, education, health, nutrition, and women’s empowerment, enabling it to provide sustainable solutions for vulnerable communities.

Carlos Hank González, president of Grupo Financiero Banorte, commented on this celebration: “We are celebrating 20 years of Fundación Banorte. Our aim is evident: to provide vulnerable families with an equal opportunity so they can thrive with dignity. We desire a nation in which poverty is not predestined. Let’s carry on with the development of strong families!

According to Jimena Prado Lebrija, director of Fundación Banorte, the mission involves creating a just Mexico, starting with the fortification of families through comprehensive initiatives that disrupt the cycle of extreme poverty and create genuine opportunities.
