Mission

Established in 1990, the International Community Foundation (ICF) seeks to increase charitable giving and volunteerism across U.S. borders to benefit overseas communities and nonprofit organizations. ICF's vision for 2010 is to become a respected national leader in promoting effective internationally-focused community philanthropy through our grantmaking, programs, research, and donor educational services benefiting non-profits in Mexico and Central America, as well as those around the world leveraging the strength of our strategic global partnerships. In fiscal year 2009, ICF distributed $5.5 million in grants, focusing on the following geographic areas: the U.S. - Mexico Border, Baja California Peninsula, Sea of Cortez, Latin America and the Caribbean Region.
