Transparency
Our Commitment to Ethics, Transparency, and Responsibility
In the United States, Educando was founded on December 9, 2002, in New York City, as a charitable organization registered as 501(c)(3) with the Internal Revenue Service. In Mexico, it was established as a Civil Association on May 22, 2008, and obtained tax-deductible status on December 8 of that same year. Mexico’s financial statements are consolidated with those of the United States and are jointly audited to guarantee transparency and the confidence of our partners.
Currently, at Educando, we work every day to transform lives through education, always guided by the highest standards of integrity and transparency. Our financial management, ethical practices, and legal compliance are dedicated to ensuring that each resource is used efficiently and for the benefit of the communities that need it most.
Transform lives: your donation brings quality education and opportunities to students so they can reach their full potential.
