Blackbaud and Nacional Monte de Piedad Join Forces to Enhance Charitable Donations in Mexico

Blackbaud Partners with Nacional Monte de Piedad

In a significant collaboration, Blackbaud, recognized as a leading provider of software solutions promoting social impact, has joined hands with Nacional Monte de Piedad, a notable public assistance and financial institution in Mexico with over 250 years of history. This partnership, which was announced on February 19, 2025, aims to enable corporate clients on the YourCause® platform to make donations to a wide range of vetted charitable organizations across Mexico.

The integration of YourCause CSRconnect® and GrantsConnect® will propel the ability of Blackbaud's corporate clients to enhance their corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. This includes facilitating employee giving, matching corporate gifts, and issuing grants specifically to approved charities within Mexico. Employees based in Mexico will soon enjoy the ability to donate locally, using their home currency while reaping potential tax benefits.

Blackbaud provides software that connects businesses with nonprofits to amplify their social impact initiatives globally. Dale Strange, President of Corporate Impact at Blackbaud, emphasized the importance of expanding their network to include charities from Mexico. “We’re delighted to connect our customers with the numerous vetted charities in Mexico, thereby broadening the avenues available for meaningful contribution,” Strange remarked.

In fulfilling its mission, Blackbaud takes the requisite measures to ensure donations are securely processed. Donations made through the YourCause platform are disbursed via the Blackbaud Giving Fund within certain markets. Engagements with local partners are crucial to address regulatory requirements and to maintain a reliable method for managing donations. Blackbaud undertook a comprehensive vetting process to collaborate with Nacional Monte de Piedad, ensuring compliance with both American regulations and the local laws governing foreign charitable funds.

Nacional Monte de Piedad will play a vital role in this collaboration by scrutinizing charities, facilitating the movement of funds across borders, and ensuring that donations reach various nonprofits based in Mexico. Alejandra Angarita, Director of Social Investment at Nacional Monte de Piedad, highlighted the organization’s commitment to fostering the philanthropic ecosystem in Mexico. “With our vast experience in social investment, we are excited to bridge the gap between international donors and local organizations that are making significant contributions to society,” Angarita stated.

With a proven track record of over 250 years, Nacional Monte de Piedad has focused on positively impacting communities through various initiatives, including education, health, and food security, thereby aligning closely with the objectives of this partnership.

As Blackbaud expands its global footprint, the emphasis remains on empowering companies to engage with nonprofits and their employees wherever they operate. With YourCause available in over 170 countries and supporting 26 languages and 172 currencies, this platform is tailored to meet diverse global philanthropic needs. Blackbaud's dedication to comprehensive social impact approaches, enriched with innovative solutions, marks a new era of transparency and effectiveness in corporate contributions to social causes.
