Fundación México Vivo

What Fundación México Vivo does

Fundación México Vivo (legal name: Fundación Unidos por un México Vivo, A.C.) is a 20-year-old Mexican non-profit civil association headquartered in Mexico City with 59 employees and programmatic operations across 19 Mexican states. Founded in 2003 and headquartered at Bajío #295, Col. Roma Sur, Cuauhtémoc, CDMX, the foundation was originally established to support the AIDS response and expanded its mission in 2014 to ensure the population lives its sexuality with health and decision-making power. Its core product portfolio spans two pillars: sexual health services (ASSI Vivo community center offering HIV/STI testing, PrEP/PEP provision, medical and psychological counseling) and sexual education programs (Generación Viva for schools, PARESS for peer educators aligned with UN Agenda 2030, Hablemos de sexo y amor digital youth platform as part of the Love Matters Global Network, and Empresa Viva for workplace education). Supporting infrastructure includes the Biblioteca EIS educational repository, the Detecta microsite with geo-referenced MAPASS directories, Abrazando la Vida community health extension, and the Arte Vivo art-based fundraising initiative including an annual auction and Festival Diversa.

The foundation operates an integrated digital-and-in-person service delivery model rather than a unified software product. The ASSI Vivo community center provides in-person services, while mobile outreach (ASSI en tu comunidad) brings rapid HIV testing and PrEP/PEP information to workplaces and schools. The Hablemos de sexo y amor platform (hablemosdesexo.com) provides online consultation with sexuality specialists and houses a 1,630-article content library. Distribution is amplified by a 53-organization community network through which 1 million condoms were donated in 2023. Underlying technology is therefore best characterized as a content, counseling, and clinical-service platform with multi-channel distribution, rather than an AI- or data-driven product.

The business model is a donations-and-grants-funded non-profit: services to beneficiaries are free of charge, supported by individual donations (one-time and recurring monthly via credit/debit card or PayPal with tax-deductible receipts), institutional partnerships with international and government funders (MAC AIDS Fund, UNFPA, ONUSIDA, CENSIDA, SEP, IMJUVE, IMSS, UNAM, CONAPO, CONAPRED, INM, INMUJERES, COPRED, and others), corporate sponsors, the annual Arte Vivo photo auction (with the Arte Vivo Foto line normalizing healthy sexuality representations), Festival Diversa ticketing, and in-kind contributions including volunteering and pro-bono consulting. The customer base spans youth, educators, parents, LGBT+ populations, sex workers, indigenous communities, migrants, corporate employees, and donor-individuals, with no pricing tier or commercial product offered.

Emerging players

• Balance (Promundo): Global non-profit working on gender equality and healthy masculinity, including sexual health education for youth. Partial overlap with the foundation's education and gender-equity programming but focused on a narrower thematic lens.

Broad incumbents

• IPPF/WHR (International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region): Regional arm of IPPF supporting sexual and reproductive health organizations across the Americas. Overlaps with the foundation's mission and works through affiliated NGOs that often target similar youth and vulnerable populations in Mexico and Latin America.
• Planned Parenthood Global: International arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America providing sexual and reproductive health services, education, and advocacy globally, including in Mexico. Comparable in mission and service mix but far larger and more diversified.
• AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF): Global HIV/AIDS organization providing testing, treatment, PrEP/PEP, and advocacy across 45+ countries including Mexico. Overlaps on the HIV clinical-service and policy-advocacy dimensions but operates at much larger scale and across geographies.

Direct peers

• Mexfam (Fundación Mexicana para la Planeación Familiar): Mexican sexual and reproductive health non-profit delivering clinical services, education, and youth programs across Mexico. Directly comparable in target population, country focus, and integrated education-plus-service model.
• Clínica Condesa: Mexico City government-run HIV/STD clinic network that is an active operational partner of the foundation via the ASSI Vivo referral pathway. Directly comparable in HIV/STI clinical service delivery to vulnerable populations in Mexico City.
• Fundación Huésped: Argentine non-profit working on HIV/AIDS, sexual health, and LGBT+ rights with research, service delivery, and advocacy components. Explicitly listed as a collaborator since 2013 and operates a directly comparable integrated service-plus-advocacy model in Latin America.
• Rutgers (Love Matters Global Network): Dutch-based international sexual and reproductive health organization that operates the Love Matters Global Network, of which Hablemos de sexo y amor is the Spanish-language node. Directly comparable in digital sexuality education for youth.
• Fundación Arcoíris: Mexican non-profit focused on LGBT+ rights, sexual health, and HIV prevention for LGBT+ populations in Mexico. Directly comparable on the LGBT+ sexual health and HIV prevention mandate within the same national context.

Regional players

• Profamilia (Colombia): Colombian sexual and reproductive health non-profit operating clinics, education, and advocacy across Colombia. Highly comparable operating model (clinic + education + advocacy) and Latin American context, but serves a different national market.
