Grants to Charities along U.S./Mexico Border Drop Sharply - NPQ – Nonprofit Quarterly - Promoting an active an engaged democracy.: The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Sandra Dibble reports that cross-border giving, the philanthropic grantmaking of U.S. philanthropies to charities operating along the Mexican side of the U.S./Mexico border, has dropped—sharply.
