From Grupo Mariana Family of Resorts comes Fundación Mariana, which has been created expressly to organize and support socially responsible programs dedicated to fostering growth, self-reliance and sustainability in the New Nicaragua. In the spirit of giving, this non-profit organization will provide financial support as part of its corporate commitment to have a positive influence on the communities that surround its family of resort properties. To that end, Grupo Mariana has done something truly special to support Nicaragua and its people.
The mission of the organization is: “To create and support through education and healthcare a sustainable model of community economic and social development that will improve the lives of local citizens.” The ultimate goal is to transform the New Nicaragua into Central America’s most admired and respected country where all citizens enjoy healthy and positive lives.

It is said that in order to thrive within a community, that community must be thriving as well. For the top Nicaraguan developers at Grupo Mariana, this is especially true. For Chairman, Kevin Fleming, and the rest of the team this means giving back to the country they live in is a crucial part of being responsible members of the business community.
The Executive Committee for Fundacion Mariana is made up of Kevin Fleming, Maria Rueda and Carmen Elizondo. The foundation welcomes all levels and types of donation. For further information call 1-786-245-6535. The Fundacion Mariana is in process of registration for a 501 (c)(3) organization.
