Cemefi has celebrated laying the first stone of the building that will become its hub for philanthropy, civil society initiatives and corporate social responsibility – La Casa de la Filantropia y la RSE  (Philanthropy and CSR House) in Mexico City.  

La Casa de la Filantropia y la RSE  is meant to be a place ‘where we all grow’ as it provides a meeting space to: network, learn from each other, share ideas and achievements, create, innovate, incubate and develop.

It will be a meeting place for everyone, to boost each one’s potential in the construction of a better country.

The building projects spaciousness and inspires creativity, based on four main elements:  cement  to reflect  sturdiness,   glass   to reflect transparency, wood   to reflect warmth and  steel  to reflect permanence. 

There will be two main buildings: one in front hosting a reception area for exhibitions and events;  a Philanthropic Information Center; an auditorium and multipurpose rooms; and a set of smaller offices suited for new initiatives or as a working place for members and visitors from all over the country and abroad.

The back building hosts Cemefi’s headquarters, and in-between will be a garden and a coffee shop, ideal for smaller everyday meetings and adaptable to larger events.
