How We Do It

How We Do It

We co-invest in organizations and government institutions that work for the health and well-being of children in Baja California Sur. Each year we support our network of Partner Programs with funds to finance their projects and programs, as well as through various training and capacity-building initiatives.

Since 2017, we have opened an annual grant application process for organizations working on health and well-being issues for Children and Adolescents in Baja California Sur to apply for financial support through a project proposal. If you are interested in participating, please email programas@loscaboschildren.org for more details.

Capacity Building

Los Cabos Children’s Foundation’s Capacity Building Program was born in 2016, as a tool to provide the different programs supported by LCCF a space for integration where they could share experiences and work together.

In 2018, based on identification of specific training needs, we focused on providing more opportunities to strengthen related professionalization, best practices, and transparency. This included operational issues, such as board of directors’ management and fundraising, among others.

We seek to enhance the capacities of nonprofits in Baja California Sur, which is why in 2020, our Capacity Building Program evolved to become one of the internal programs of LCCF with an operating budget. With support from our Strategic Partner, the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI), we increased the number of training sessions and referred our Partner Programs so they could receive various specialized support services. If you want to join, we ask you to contact us at the following email: innovacion@loscaboschildren.org

Volunteering

LCCF Volunteering was formally born in Los Cabos in 2015, in response to the interest of people in the community to offer their talents, skills, and passions for the benefit of Children and Adolescents and their families.

For 9 years, our volunteers have worked on the program’s goals and structure, managing to consolidate itself as an internal program with its own mission, vision, and values, aligned with those of Los Cabos Children's Foundation.

Our volunteers’ time and talent are divided into 3 volunteering opportunities:

Bond with the community
Link with programs
Support to fulfill the LCCF mission

Be part of the mission of Los Cabos Children’s Foundation!

Community Attention

Our Community Attention Program was created in 2016, with the purpose of serving Children and Adolescents with critical health needs that are not covered by their healthcare provider or that their family cannot afford.

We provide guidance through our knowledge of the health context, make referrals through our network of Partner Programs and Strategic Allies, and give in-kind support such as medications, tests, or procedures that improve the child's quality of life.

In the following diagram, you can find the support stages of the Community Attention Program, which begins with the receipt of this completed form.

Once your information has been received, the Community Attention team will review the case and contact you to offer the best solution available at the time, in the form of guidance, referral, or in-kind support.
