Alliance Magazine Interview - Getting global giving going - Manuel Arango: "Fifteen years ago, Mexican businessman Manuel Arango founded the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) � now a large, thriving organization with 400 members. What inspired him to set up a civil society support organization, Caroline Hartnell asked him. And does he think his example has encouraged other wealthy people in Mexico to follow suit? Although he downplays the importance of personal example, Manuel Arango feels that Mexico is reaching the point where people accept that supporting the non-profit sector should be part of any citizen�s life.
As an individual donor, it was an unusual decision to found a support organization like CEMEFI rather than something much more service delivery oriented? How did you come to do this?
