Frequently Asked Questions

All donations are tax-deductible for donors who are U.S. taxpayers. The International Community Foundation’s (ICF) tax-exempt ID number is 33-0457858. ICF issues you a tax receipt after making a donation.

Contact us via email at info@icfdn.org. We will ask you to share a few pieces of information with us, like your name and email address, so we can send you the information you need. Additionally, we’ll send you a receipt for every donation you make to ICF. If your donations are only online donations, login to Fundraise Up’s donor portal at https://fundraiseup.com/donor-portal/ to view your donation history.

If there was an error, please contact us via email at info@icfdn.org. We will refund your donation, which can take 1-3 business days to process.

Of course! At ICF, we understand your desire or need for privacy and take these matters seriously. During the online donation check out process, you may select to make your donation anonymously. If you are donating via wire transfer, stock, etc., please feel free to contact us. We may still ask for certain information, but we won’t share any of this information with the project or charity to which you have donated or anyone outside of our organization. You will still receive thank you emails and project reports if you request them, but the people behind the project or charity will not know your name or any personal information.

Make checks payable to the International Community Foundation and mail to 2505 N Avenue, National City, CA 91950. In the memo line, write the name of the fund, organization, or grantee you wish to support.

Our team works everyday to allocate all donations to their designated organizations. Once an organization submits a grant request and other required information, our team will review for due diligence. Once approved, a wire transfer will be sent to the organization.

Unfortunately, ICF does not provide funding or materials to individuals. We work with nonprofits, companies, and other types of organizations that align with our mission, vision, and values in the U.S. and abroad.

You can adjust the currency by using the drop-down menu on the donation checkout page.

ICF currently accepts credit/debit cards, checks, PayPal, Apple Pay, bank wire transfers, stock transfers, and private equity shares.

ICF is a top-rated (4-star) charity on Charity Navigator. Every year, we publish an annual report to report our grantmaking and provide stories of impact of our work with our grantees and other partner organizations.
