The International Community Foundation operates across borders to connect people, ideas, and investments that support community development through strategic international grantmaking. Founded in 1990, it has a history of coordinating philanthropic efforts and represents more than a thousand donors with diverse international interests. To maximize impact and achieve economies of scale, most grants are directed to nonprofits in the Baja Peninsula and Sea of Cortez region. The organization is based in National City, California, and functions as a facilitator of international philanthropy rather than a traditional donor channel. It serves donors as a partner and advisor, helping identify where donations can have the greatest impact and guiding them through the complexities of international philanthropy while performing due diligence and ensuring compliance with applicable U.S. laws. In recent years, the foundation has engaged in collaborations such as a 2024 partnership with The San Diego Foundation to manage the Binational Resilience Initiative, coordinating funding with Mexico-based grantees.
