The Oaxaca Community Foundation (Fundación Comunitaria Oaxaca) is located in the city of Oaxaca de Juarez, in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The foundation aims to support marginalized communities in the state of Oaxaca. Through donations and investments totaling nearly US$20 million from 13 foundations, 167 companies, three levels of various government administrations, and more than 700 individuals, the Foundation currently supports 153 projects addressing issues of health, education, gender, cultural identity, income generation, and the environment.
