3. 3 C�mo ha cambiado la filantrop�a de la Di�spora En 1970, 70 % del dinero que flu�a de Estados Unidos a los pa�ses en desarrollo eran asistencia del gobierno y solamente 30 por ciento proven�a de fuentes privadas En la actualidad, el gobierno de Estados Unidos sigue siendo el contribuyente de ayuda extranjera m�s grande, pero su generosidad solamente representa 15 % de los flujos totales de capital del pa�s Este cambio revela el aumento significativo en remesas de los inmigrantes de Estados Unidos a sus comunidades de origen � convirtiendo a este grupo en fil�ntropos internacionales importantes Por lo general, las generaciones anteriores de inmigrantes a Estados Unidos se hab�an mantenido en contacto con sus hogares en su pa�s de origen cuando ten�an los medios para ayudar Hoy, un n�mero significativo de inmigrantes a Estados Unidos de primera generaci�n han logrado �xito financiero, conservando una conexi�n y un reconocimiento de las necesidades y condiciones actuales de sus pa�ses de origen Intro - Private giving no longer means relief efforts from missionaries working in isolated villages. Private giving today means indigenous foundations such as Fundacion Vamos in Mexico receiving $2m from US foundations from 2000 to 2003 fro earthquake relief and other projects. It means corporations partnering with foundations and governments to tackle diseases in Africa. Private giving means online donations directly to XXX (CAF project here). It is also the wiring of money from Chicago to your family in Colombia to buy seeds and fertilizer for their crops. With bullet 3 � For many developing countries, particularly in Central and South America, remittances have grown so fast in recent years that they are becoming a major source of foreign exchange and a growing component of national income.Intro - Private giving no longer means relief efforts from missionaries working in isolated villages.
