The FEMAP Foundation is a mid-sized philanthropic organization based in El Paso, Texas, that provides fundraising support to FEMAP’s work in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Its stated goal is to advance FEMAP’s mission to improve the quality of life through health, education, and social and economic empowerment for individuals and families. Established in 1992, the foundation serves as a bridge connecting El Paso and Ciudad Juárez to coordinate cross-border development efforts. FEMAP itself began in 1973 when Guadalupe De la Vega founded a small clinic and a network of community health workers to reach poor and marginalized women with essential medical services and education. Over time, the organization expanded to include a 70-bed teaching hospital, a nursing school, a mobile medical unit, a microfinance program, and outreach programs for children and youth. The two organizations together are described as a model of cross-border collaboration and solidarity in the cross-border region.
