The amount of funding from U.S. corporations and maquiladoras is limited.  The majority of Mexican foundations based along the northern border face real difficulties in procuring funds from them, and are in an urgent need to develop alternative strategies to get these institutions engaged.    This section highlights the active role that two organizations: Fondo Unido and Hospital Infantil de Las Californias have played in the region in promoting and engaging maquiladora managers in coordinated charitable giving. Their experience in bringing together like-minded corporate actors to make a difference can serve as a model for border community foundations to develop strong relationship-building strategies with U.S. maquiladoras in their region.
