OUR IMPACT
PAST INITIATIVES
25 Years of Successful Grantmaking, Research & Results
For 25 years, ICF has been making a difference in the environment and communities of the Baja California pensinula, the Sea of Cortez region, and beyond. Our successful grantmaking, special initiatives, and on-the-ground results include:
Protecting Isla Espiritu Santo from tourism development and helping to declare the 244 islands of the Gulf of California a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Creating Baja California’s first community foundation.
Incubating the U.S.-Mexico Border Philanthropy Partnership, which now consists of over 100 members.
Transforming the former home of John and Christy Walton into ICF’s headquarters and Olivewood Gardens and Learning Center.
Brokering a bi-national Memorandum of Agreement between San Diego County, Imperial County, the State of Baja California, ICF, and a newly-formed Mexican nonprofit, Puentes de Esperanza. The agreement formalizes communication and collaboration to combat tuberculosis in the California-Baja California border region.
