Community & Social Responsibility

Building More Than Homes
in San Miguel de Allende

We believe that building and maintaining exceptional homes also means helping build a stronger, more sustainable community. Success is measured not only by the quality of the projects we deliver, but by the positive impact we create for the people around us.

Local Sponsorships Sustainable Practices Fair, Ethical Work Rooted in San Miguel

Our Community Giving Manifesto

What we owe to the city that built us.

SMA Home Services is a San Miguel company. The work exists because this city made it possible — its craftsmen, its history, its neighborhoods. These are the commitments we hold ourselves to, and the projects we put them into.

  1. We give where we work.

    Every peso we commit stays in San Miguel de Allende — the murals on our arroyos, the music in our temples, the families in our neighborhoods. We do not sponsor from a distance.

  2. We pay the hands that build.

    Fair wages, safe sites, and honest treatment for every mason, carpenter, electrician, and artisan on our projects. Craft is not a cost line — it is our reputation.

  3. We protect what San Miguel has least of.

    Water, above all. We build with systems that use less, waste less, and last longer, because a beautiful home in a dry city is no achievement if it drains the well.

  4. We treat culture as infrastructure.

    A concert inside a 400-year-old temple keeps that temple alive as surely as its roof does. We sponsor the arts because they are what holds this city together.

  5. We show our work.

    Every sponsorship is named, photographed, and published — here and in Atención San Miguel. Giving that cannot be verified is marketing, not responsibility.

Our Approach

Purpose beyond profit. For the community we build in.

At SMA Home Services, a Gustavo Jiménez Architecture Company, our approach to Company Social Responsibility guides us to operate with purpose beyond profit — considering the impact of our work on our clients, our employees, our community, and the environment.

Environmental Responsibility

Environmentally responsible practices that reduce waste and encourage efficient, sustainable solutions — from drought-smart landscaping and solar to water systems that use less of what San Miguel has least of.

Ethical Business Practices

Safe working conditions, fair treatment, and honest compensation for every tradesperson and artisan on our projects — the people whose craft our reputation is built on.

Philanthropic Involvement

Support for local organizations, community projects, and charitable initiatives — through donations, sponsorships, and the time of our team.

Responsible Economic Decisions

Decisions that create long-term value while contributing positively to San Miguel de Allende — local suppliers, local craftsmen, and work that stays in this economy.

Arts & Culture Sponsorship

Beethoven's Ninth, heard again in San Miguel.

SMA Home Services was honored to sponsor the FASMA '26 performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the Templo de San Francisco — more than 150 musicians on stage between choir and orchestra, and the first time this masterwork had been performed in San Miguel de Allende in over 50 years.

Under artistic director Mauro Ledesma, the evening brought together the Coro Pro Música de Ciudad de México, the Coro Filarmónico de San Miguel de Allende, and Chorale San Miguel, joined by the Orquesta Juvenil Pro Música and four soloists.

We spend our days caring for the homes of San Miguel — many of them historic buildings that tell the story of this city. Supporting the music that fills these same spaces is another way of caring for what makes San Miguel special.

Public Art & Environment

Twelve murals. Ninety meters. One stream reborn.

Architect Gustavo Jiménez sponsors the Las Cachinches Arroyo Mural Corridor, a community project transforming a once-overlooked historic waterway into a vibrant public destination — an open-air gallery where art, nature, history, and community come together.

The project celebrates the ecological and cultural importance of the Las Cachinches Arroyo while supporting local artists, encouraging environmental stewardship, and creating an outdoor learning space for residents and visitors alike.

Architecture is about creating places that improve people's lives. Sometimes that means designing a home. Other times, it means helping create public spaces that inspire an entire community.
