Hogar Infantil Marsh, A.C. is the legal name of the orphanage located in the municipality of Playa Bonfil, in the southern suburbs of Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.

Currently, due to new federal requirements within Mexico, we are making an important transition of legal status there, from A.C. (Civil Association), to I.A.P. (Institution under Private Subsistence). Although A.C., as well as I.A.P., is an approved legal status for non-profit institutions within Mexico; the change to I.A.P. is significant, because it will facilitate delivery of funds from outside the country. We anticipate this transition will be completed shortly.

Marsh Children's Home Acapulco, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation located in the United States. It was established in October 2006 for fund-raising within the U.S. The current purpose of raising funds on the U.S. side of the border is to sustain the Hogar Infantil Marsh, A.C., located in Acapulco, Guerrero, Mexico.

In August 2007, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) approved the application of Marsh Children's Home Acapulco, Inc. to establish itself as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Corporation within the U.S. With this important approval, we can now accept tax-exempt charitable donations from U.S. individuals, organizations and businesses. Thus, we hope to attract more support for the Marsh Children's Home in Acapulco on the U.S. side of the border. We humbly ask you to Join Us!

To summarize – it is important to emphasize that we are two different legal entities in the respective countries, approved to operate as charitable, non-profit organizations on both sides of the border; but we share a singular mission, which is that of improving the lives and wellbeing of abused and/or abandoned young children and adolescents in Acapulco, Mexico and its surrounding areas.
