The El Paso, southern New Mexico and Ciudad Juárez, region, located at the convergence of ancient desert trade routes, is the largest binational metropolitan community in the world.
Few cities are faced with such unique opportunities and challenges. The overwhelming needs of the area were part of the impetus for establishing the El Paso
Community Foundation in 1977. Today, the
El Paso Community
Foundation provides a wide-range of charitable services in the region,
through its multiple roles as a convener, grantmaker and resource organization to the community.
