The Foundation for Lake Chapala Charities (FFLCC) was established in 2009 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity in the USA and as a registered A.C. civil society organization in Mexico. FFLCC provides charitable tax deductions to anyone paying US taxes. FFLCC promotes giving to charities around Lake Chapala with reasonable assurances that the charities affiliated with FFLCC have strong volunteer leadership and provide needed services.
FFLCC receives donations from a broad array of donors, primarily in the US and Canada, Mexico, and expats living in the communities around Lake Chapala.
