Fundación Juan Bautista Gutiérrez

What Fundación Juan Bautista Gutiérrez does

Fundación Juan Bautista Gutiérrez (FJBG) is a Guatemalan family-corporate foundation established on March 6, 1985, operating as the social impact vehicle of Corporación Multi Inversiones (CMI). It is governed by the Gutiérrez Mayorga and Bosch Gutiérrez families, with Felipe Bosch Gutiérrez serving as President and Juan José Gutiérrez as Vice President, and is headquartered at 5ta Avenida 15-45 zona 10 in Guatemala City with approximately 80 employees. The foundation delivers four integrated social programs: the University Scholarship Program (currently supporting 591 youth across Guatemala's 22 departments plus 6 Honduran scholars), the Mi Salud, Mi Responsabilidad youth health workshop program (DIGEACE-certified since 2018), the Program to Combat Chronic Child Malnutrition (operating in 52 communities across 6 municipalities of San Cristóbal Totonicapán with 7,000+ beneficiaries), and the Entrepreneurship Program (providing training, equipment, and market access in partnership with the European Union and AGEXPORT).

The foundation does not build technology products; its 'core technology' consists of replicable, measurable program methodologies deployed through community workshops, home visits, community centers (CECODII), and educational-institution partnerships. The underlying operating model rests on coordination with municipal authorities, the Ministry of Education (12 educational centers in San Cristóbal Totonicapán), the Ministry of Public Health, Community Development Councils (COCODE), and partner universities (UVG, UFM, Galileo, URL, UMG, UNIS, Zamorano). Distribution is single-country/domestic (Guatemala with limited Honduras presence), executed through direct community engagement and government/healthcare-system integration rather than digital channels.

As a philanthropic foundation, FJBG does not generate commercial revenue or charge beneficiaries for program participation. It is funded through corporate social responsibility allocations from its parent CMI (a diversified conglomerate), and offers no products in the traditional commercial sense — its 'pricing model' is non-monetary service delivery funded by parent-company contribution. The foundation's quantifiable outcomes include 98.9% of youth workshop participants prevented unplanned pregnancies, 98.5% avoided STIs, 25,000+ teachers trained (2003-2006 El Educador del Nuevo Siglo program), and 400,000+ children reached through teacher-training cascading effects.
