How This Platform Started
The story behind Capital Verdán and why we believe access to clear information about government programs matters.
The Information Problem
Mexico maintains hundreds of support programs across federal, state, and municipal levels. These programs provide financial assistance, training, equipment, and other resources to entrepreneurs, rural producers, single mothers, students, and seniors.
The programs exist, and the funding is allocated. But finding them requires navigating dozens of separate government websites, each using different terminology and organizational structures. Understanding eligibility requirements often means deciphering bureaucratic language written for administrators rather than applicants.
We saw people who qualified for support programs miss application deadlines because they could not find the information. We saw others spend hours searching multiple websites trying to understand basic requirements. The information existed, but it was not accessible.
A Research Project Becomes a Platform
This platform began as a research project. Our team spent months cataloging government support programs, documenting their requirements, and organizing them into a searchable database. We translated bureaucratic language into clear explanations. We tracked application deadlines and updated information as programs changed.
Initially, we created this resource for a small group of community organizations in Veracruz. They used it to help their members identify relevant programs. The feedback was immediate and consistent: this information, presented clearly and organized logically, made a difference.
From Local Resource to National Platform
Community organizations in other states learned about the database and asked to access it. We expanded our research to include programs from additional states and municipalities. The database grew from 50 programs to over 400. What started as a local resource became a national platform.
Independent and Transparent
Capital Verdán operates independently. We are not affiliated with any political party or government agency. This independence allows us to present information objectively without political influence.
We do not process applications or act as intermediaries between applicants and government agencies. Our role is informational: we gather, verify, organize, and explain program information. Users apply directly to the responsible government agencies through official channels.
All information on this platform is provided free of charge. Government support programs are public resources funded by taxpayers. Information about these programs should be freely accessible to everyone.
Weekly Updates
Government programs change. New programs launch, existing programs modify their requirements, and some programs close when funding expires. Our team reviews government sources weekly to keep the database current.
When we identify changes, we update program listings immediately. When we discover new programs, we add them to the database after verifying information through official sources. This ongoing maintenance ensures users see accurate, current information.
Clear Language Matters
Government documents often use technical terms, legal references, and bureaucratic phrasing. This language serves administrative purposes, but it creates barriers for people seeking information.
Our content team translates these documents into clear Spanish. We explain eligibility requirements in straightforward terms. We list required documents using common names rather than official form numbers. We present deadlines as specific dates rather than regulatory references.
This translation work takes time, but it makes information accessible to people without bureaucratic expertise or legal backgrounds.
What We Do and Do Not Do
We provide information. We explain program requirements, list necessary documents, track deadlines, and link to official application portals. We help people understand what programs exist and how to apply for them.
We do not process applications, charge fees for information, guarantee program approval, or act as intermediaries. We do not provide legal advice, financial counseling, or personalized recommendations. Users make their own decisions about which programs to pursue and how to complete applications.
Looking Forward
Our database currently covers over 400 programs across Mexico. We continue adding programs as we discover them and expanding coverage to additional municipalities. We are developing search tools to help users find programs more efficiently. We are building partnerships with community organizations to improve information distribution.
The goal remains consistent: make information about government support programs accessible, understandable, and useful for the people these programs are designed to help.
