Project Mexico Launches $200,000 Matching Grant Campaign for 2025

Project Mexico Announces $200,000 Annual Matching Grant Campaign

Year-End Donations Will Be Doubled Through December 30, Supporting Homes and Hope for Families and Orphaned Children

Project Mexico & St. Innocent Orphanage announced on November 1st the launch of its Annual Matching Grant Campaign, an opportunity for supporters to double the impact of their giving through a generous dollar-for-dollar match—up to $200,000—now through December 31, 2025.

For more than 35 years, Project Mexico has been dedicated to serving the most vulnerable through its longstanding homebuilding ministry and the nurturing environment of St. Innocent Orphanage. The Annual Matching Grant Campaign plays a critical role in sustaining these life-changing programs by allowing donors to stretch their support dollars further than at any other time of year.

“This matching grant is one of the most impactful opportunities for supporters to help us continue our mission,” said Executive Director Father Nicholas Andruchow. “Every dollar given effectively becomes two—directly supporting the boys in our care and helping families in need receive safe, secure housing.”

Donations made during the campaign will support:

  • Safe, stable homes for families living in substandard conditions

  • Daily care, education, and spiritual development for the boys at St. Innocent Orphanage

  • Long-term sustainability of Project Mexico’s ministry and outreach efforts

With the rising need for support across the communities Project Mexico serves, the matching grant offers donors a powerful way to amplify their generosity and make a tangible difference.

Supporters are encouraged to make their contributions before December 30 to ensure their gifts are fully matched.

Annual Matching Grant Campaign 2020

This has been a different year altogether. We would have celebrated our 32rd season of homebuilding but because of COVID we were unable to build as the border closed and lockdown went into effect in Mexico. Over 300 volunteers were scheduled to join us this summer to build homes for 20 families.

As we prepare for the last quarter of 2020, our needs are greater than ever due to 40% loss in homebuilding revenue because of COVID-19. Your contribution is critical for us to continue our mission providing education and a safe home for the boys of St Innocent Orphanage.

Right now, we are planning for Christmas as well as finishing the details for the annual report that is sent to each of our supporters. One of the programs that has enabled our success over the past several years is our Annual Matching Grant Challenge. We pray to make our goal of securing $650,000 in matching grant sponsorships to raise the full amount of our annual operating budget of $1.3 million by December 31st. 

We hope to not only inspire a gift this year but a commitment for 2021 as well. This way we can inspire a gift this year and a commitment for next year from our donors that will enable us to survive 2021. 

We encourage you to become an Annual Matching Grant Donor.

Or, if you have the means to become a sponsor with a commitment of $75,000, $50,000, $25,000 you can make a critical impact on our organization!

With your support, we will survive these uncertain times and secure the ministry for 2021.
