Services for Nonprofits

International Community Foundation allows nonprofit organizations in Mexico and other countries to establish Agency Endowment and Nonendowment “Friends Of” funds that support their operations and programs. A donor can contribute any amount - large or small - to these funds without opening their own donor-advised fund at ICF. These “Friends Of” funds help worthy NGO’s with operational and programmatic needs throughout the year.
