History and Our Focus

Grupo Financiero Uno’s commitment to social and corporate responsibility led to the creation of Fundación Uno, a non-profit organization. Since its founding in 1998, the institution has been dedicated to improving the well-being of those in need in Central America.

In 2007, after the sale of Grupo Financiero Uno to Citigroup, the organization became a family foundation, maintaining its desire to contribute to the personal, economic, and cultural growth of the Central American community.

Today, the foundation continues to carry out its mission by creating and sponsoring programs in education, health, conservation of the environment and the preservation of culture, which provide tangible and lasting benefits.
