About the Cover: Located along the Baja California peninsula near Cabo San Lucas, Cabo Pulmo National Park is home to a staggering quantity and diversity of marine life, including endangered whale sharks, five species of sea turtles, whales, and a host of sportfish. Because of its importance to these threatened marine species, Cabo Pulmo was added as a UNESCO World Heritage Biodiversity site in 2005. Despite this designation, this 20,000- year-old coral reef is now threatened due to a proposed development called Cabo Cortes. A coalition of Foundation grantees and partners including: Amigos para la Conservación de Cabo Pulmo (ACCP); Sociedad de Historía Natural Niparajá; Pronatura Noroeste; Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza; Centro Mexicano para la Defensa Ambiental (CEMDA); Defensa Ambiental del Noroeste (DAN); InterAmerican Association for Environmental Defense (AIDA); CostaSalvaje and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) have come together to save this priceless marine habitat for future generations.

7 GIVING TO MEXICO & LATIN AMERICA

Considering its 2,000 shared-mile border with the United States, what happens in Mexico truly matters to this country. Similarly, Mexico and Latin America represent the single largest contiguous migrant-sending region to the United States. Strategic social investments across Latin America and especially Mexico in the areas of education, health and the environment can offer opportunities and hope to some of the most marginalized and disenfranchised people who might otherwise choose to migrate to the United States.

The International Community Foundation’s focus on Mexico comes at a time when Mexico is facing growing levels of poverty, human migration pressures, public safety concerns, drug-related violence, environmental and public health challenges, and natural disasters. The need for a strong and vibrant independent sector that promotes transparency, accountability and the rule of law, as well as expands civil society’s engagement in Mexico, is needed now more than ever.

Two more groups joined later from Tijuana and Los Cabos. By 2010, there were six active groups along the Baja California peninsula, and several more interested in joining the newly-formed Baja Keeper Network. Several of the groups opened “friends of” funds with the International Community Foundation to encourage donors to contribute.

On the five-year anniversary of this initiative, Environment Now convened a meeting to discuss a regional strategic plan for the network, as well as to develop recommendations for improving water quality reporting and policy reform. A job description for a Regional Coordinator has been developed and several donors are considering pooling their resources again to bring in technical support for the water quality monitoring program. Both the International Community Foundation and its sister foundation in Tijuana, Fundación Baja Waterkeeper Network Internacional de la Comunidad (FIC), have opened special project funds to increase funding opportunities for Baja’s “waterkeeper” network as Donor Profile they grow.

Caitlin first came to the International Community Foundation in 2010 seeking experience in international charitable work. Little did she know that the experience she would gain at the Foundation would ignite a passion to protect poor indigent girls against cervical cancer. It was during a visit to the Escuela Primaria Bilingüe in the Valle Verde Community of Tijuana where she learned that in the last eight years, five families had lost a female relative to cervical cancer. Caitlin was moved by these deaths because she had received the HPV vaccine and had taken it for granted.

Have You Thought About the Future?

• Are your loved ones well cared for? • Will your property pass to your intended beneficiaries? • Will your estate avoid unnecessary taxes?

Some people think that the future will take care of itself. Many wait until it's too late to plan for the unexpected. Thinking about the future now is important to ensure that your intentions are followed.

Planning for your legacy is an exciting time for you, your family and the future of your favorite charitable cause and international community.

The International Community Foundation’s website features valuable ideas on ways to plan for the future and receive benefits such as U.S. tax savings and life income while you make a difference in Mexico or Latin America. There are also helpful articles on personal planning with tips for organizing your finances and estate.
