Inspired Change. An international nonprofit organization, ICF seeks to inspire international charitable giving by U.S. donors, with an emphasis on Northwest Mexico. 2 Dear ICF Donors and Friends, Our 25th anniversary year continues to be an extraordinary one. You may have already noticed that ICF has a new logo, a new website (www.icfdn.org), and a new look. You might have attended one of a dozen ICF events this year, including 25th anniversary dinners and receptions, grantee workshops, or donor education meetings. And hopefully, you had a chance to meet some of our new staff and board members as we visited grantees in the field, represented ICF at national and international forums, or were hard at work in our National City office. This milestone is important to all of us, and has even accelerated our progress in health, education, and the environment in Mexico, particularly in the Baja California peninsula and the Sea of Cortez region. In fact, in Fiscal Year 2015, ICF: • Granted $7.7 million to 105 organizations working throughout Latin America. • Celebrated the 15th anniversary of the conservation easements in Laguna San Ignacio, which collectively protect almost 340,000 acres of pristine coastal and inland areas in one of the most important whale birthing lagoons in Mexico. • Signed a binational memorandum of agreement with government agencies and nonprofit partners in Southern California and Baja California to continue combatting multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in the border region. • Prioritized scholarships and after-school activities in ICF’s education program, supporting over 25 organizations in Mexico alone. As always, we are grateful for your confidence in our team and your steadfast support of the International Community Foundation. It is thanks to your generosity that our work is possible.
