Rebuilding of schools
In the wake of the 2017 earthquakes, the BBVA Bancomer Foundation began work on the reconstruction
of schools through its "BBVA Bancomer School" project, which seeks to improve and strengthen school
infrastructure.
The funds used to rebuild the schools were raised via a joint donation of 180 million pesos from BBVA
Bancomer and the BBVA Group, which was intended as seed capital. This fund has increased further
thanks to the contributions received from customers, support boards, companies and foundations. Over
the first six-year horizon through to 2023, the aim is to benefit over 31,000 pupils directly.
Cultural promotion
The Cultural Outreach department seeks to showcase Mexico's cultural
heritage by designing and promoting artistic programs and initiatives. The
programs seek to celebrate and promote art by offering various forms of
support to artists in partnership with various institutions.
The programs offer financial incentives, guidance and support in attending
workshops, among other benefits. During 2018, work continued on Proyecto
Bi, the Arte Carrillo Gil Museum and the Hazlo en Cortometraje competition.
Other initiatives in 2018 included the Conservation and Restoration Program
for the BBVA Bancomer Art Collection (with 120 works restored and 114 frame
changes), the Immersion Laboratory in partnership with the Secretariat of
Culture of the Federal Government for the production and exhibition of pieces
in virtual reality, as well as support for various exhibitions.
