Border Community Alliance

Border Community Alliance BCA's mission is bridging the border and fostering community through education, & cultural exchange. We are a 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit organization.

Border Community Alliance offers access to the rich heritage and great potential of the US/Mexico borderlands of Arizona/Sonora through education, research, cultural exchange, and advocacy for social welfare in partnership with FESAC, a Sonoran NGO. Our mission
BCA is about bridging the border and fostering community through education, collaboration and cultural exchange. We do this in the Nogales

region of Southern Arizona/Sonora Mexico. We have no religious or political affiliations. We depend on donations and grants for funding. Incorporated in the state of Arizona, our board members reside in southern Arizona. Our advisory board consists of people from across the globe. We are based in Tubac, Arizona, a community forty miles south of Tucson and twenty miles north of the US/Mexico border. Values
We believe in social investment, not charity.We seek to listen and learn from each other, rather than presume we know it all. We respect the cultures and traditions of both Mexico and the US. We value working together with like-minded organizations and individuals on both sides of the border. We welcome participation in our programs regardless of one’s viewpoint of immigration.

Last chance to give to Border Community Alliance (BCA) is midnight tonight during AZ Gives Day today!!

Please consider a donation to our Borderlands Ambassador Internship program.

An observation from 2025 Borderlands Ambassador, Claudia:

“I saw the border wall for the first time this week. La línea. I had never seen it before, at least not in person, but I knew it well through my family’s stories. Here in the borderlands, stories bear a special character. They weave through la línea like a needle and thread, moving where others cannot, tightening the link between ambos Nogales as the wall attempts to wedge it.”

The six-week program leaves a huge, often life-changing impact on all of our students.

Donations can be made today until midnight at www.azgivesday.org/bordercommunityalliance.

Thanks you so much for your support as we work to bridge borders and change the narratives about the borderlands.
