Field of Interest Funds

Additionally, ICF maintains several targeted field of interest funds, permitting donors at any level to support nonprofit organizations in Baja California Sur and throughout the Baja California peninsula.  These funds include the:

• Sea of Cortez Fund: Support nonprofit organizations focused on the conservation of marine and coastal environments of the Sea of Cortez.
• International Children’s Fund: The purpose of the International Children's Fund is to provide program support to nonprofits in Baja California that work on improving the lives of children and families. The projects funded vary widely from vaccinating infants, to operational support for orphanages, and community centers to children's theater groups with a message against violence.
• San Ignacio Lagoon Whale Conservation Fund: A “field of interest” fund that allows donors to contribute to private land conservation efforts in this remote lagoon, which contains the most pristine gray whale habitat in the world.
• Baja Land Fund:  Supports acquisition and protection of biologically-important properties along the Baja California Peninsula’s coastline. 
• Baja Disaster Relief Fund: Provides direct assistance to nonprofits for emergency aid during a natural disaster or crisis.
