ICF HIGHLIGHTS
A
LETTER
TO OUR
DONORS
Anne McEnany & Samuel Dychter, M.D.
As the International Community Foundation enters its 25th year, we are proud to celebrate
the achievements of the past and chart the path toward the future.
ICF’s on-the-ground impact is evident, which you will read about in these pages. Just this year, over 800
donors contributed over $11 million to our foundation, which we were able to grant to nonprofit
organizations in Mexico, Brazil, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Panama and the U.S. Totaling $6.3 million,
these grants are launching new initiatives, creating healthy and sustainable communities, and building civil
society organizations in the health, environmental, and educational areas.
Much of our progress can be attributed to Richard Kiy, our able and effective President and CEO for the
past 13 years. We are very grateful for Richard’s many contributions and we are excited about the future
opportunities for expanded charitable giving to Mexico and Latin America under Anne’s leadership. Richard
will continue to stay involved with ICF as an advisor and donor; we truly appreciate his passion and
dedication to the work he started at ICF.
Today, ICF is known as a professional and passionate organization that understands the issues and
challenges that our grantees face throughout Mexico, Latin America, and the Caribbean. That helps our
staff be more effective in guiding donor investments and connecting them to the “best of the best” in the
education, health, and environmental fields. ICF now has over 1,200 donors in 42 states, compared to just
over 100 donors in 2001.
Yet, we know there are many more people that want to connect to local organizations doing good work
internationally. Just 6% of total giving goes to international causes, but the international sector has more
than doubled in size in the past decade. We see ourselves as connectors and influencers, seeking effective
organizations that deliver programmatic and financially responsible results. By linking these groups to
interested donors, ICF can help accelerate economic, social, and environmental progress throughout
the region.
This is just one part of the vision for the next 25 years of ICF’s work. Seek excellent on-the-ground partners,
connect them to interested funders, and add our expertise to the mix to increase the chances of success.
You’ll see in this report that we have laid the groundwork to achieve this.
And as always, thank you for your steadfast support of the International Community Foundation. It is
thanks to your generosity that our work is possible.

A
TRIBUTE
TO
RICHARD
KIY
ver the past 13 years, Richard Kiy led the
International Community Foundation as its
President and CEO. Under Richard’s leadership,
ICF raised $76 million in charitable gifts,
granting over $55 million to nonprofit partners in Mexico,
Latin America, and other regions. ICF also assumed an
important leadership role in disaster relief, urban &
regional planning, education, the environment, human
migration and public health under his tenure.
O
Richard led ICF to become an important cross-border
philanthropic catalyst and connector, including the
designation of 244 islands and inlets in the Gulf of
California as a UNESCO World Heritage Biodiversity Site
in 2005 and the protection of over 348,000 acres of
coastal lands in Laguna San Ignacio, the birthing grounds
of the California Grey Whale. More recently, Richard
helped members of ICF’s Youth Philanthropy program
connect with community leaders in Laguna San Ignacio to
create an after-school learning annex out of an aging
school bus.
Richard was instrumental in positioning ICF as an
incubator of important cross-border initiatives, including
Baja California’s first community foundation, Fundación
lnternacional de Ia Comunidad, helping to secure a
$1 million grant from the William & Flora Hewlett
Foundation, and the U.S-Mexico Border Philanthropy
Partnership. Finally, Richard led the transformation of the
former National City home of John & Christy Walton into
our permanent headquarters as well as the site for the
Olivewood Gardens & Learning Center.
Although Richard has relinquished his role as President &
CEO, he will continue to serve the International
Community Foundation as both a donor and volunteer on
the International Advisory Board. He will be an integral
part of celebrating ICF’s 25th anniversary in 2015, which
will highlight many of the projects mentioned above and
dozens more. We celebrate his achievements and wish
him the best in his future work.

Environment
ICF as Incubator : Emerging Sustainable Cities
La Paz is a city that is
growing fast – population
is booming, economy is
steady, and quality of life
is high. Yet, there is
evidence that the bubble
may soon burst.
Municipal transactions
are still managed on
paper and fees and taxes
are not regularly
collected, leaving the
government financially
unable to meet local
needs for street repairs,
public security, and
social services.
As a main geographic focus area for
the International Community
Foundation, La Paz has been a target
for many grants and special projects
over the past 20 years. But ICF has
never tried to tackle the looming
issues of the city’s revitalization,
knowing that philanthropic money
would never be enough.
Enter the InterAmerican
Development Bank’s “Emerging
Sustainable Cities” initiative. A
program designed for cities under
one million residents, ESCI is
designed to identify, sort, and
prioritize long-term infrastructure and
sustainability projects to improve the
quality of life. Then, ESCI brings
together private funders, municipal,
state and federal governments, and
multi-lateral donors to finance these
projects together.
In 2012, the International Community Foundation
convened the first ESCI meeting in La Paz
with 40 attendees. The program has taken off
from there, resulting in:
• A financial partnership between Fundación FEMSA, the InterAmerican
Development Bank, ICF, the municipality of La Paz, and Fundación
Banamex that has raised over $750,000.
• A “Citizens Observatory” called Como Vamos La Paz, with a technical
committee of 30 experts from government agencies, academic
institutions, business associations, and civic groups.
• Six technical reports with recommendations on urban mobility,
vulnerability to climate change, fiscal transparency, among others.
• Dozens of civic and government leaders trained on best practices in
urban sustainable development.
• Active conversations amongst government and local residents about
the quality of life in La Paz and the city’s future growth patterns.

Education
ICF as Investor : Binational Student Education
The International Community Foundation offers
support and assistance to binational students
to overcome challenges.
The International Community
Foundation (ICF) is committed to
supporting critical and innovative
initiatives that address educational
needs. In that respect, ICF has taken
the lead in bringing together key
partner organizations to address the
often overlooked challenges faced by
children defined as binational
students in the Tijuana, Baja California
region.
Binational students are those young
people who were born in the United
States and are U.S. citizens, but who
also have the right to Mexican
citizenship through their parents.
In 2013, U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE)
carried out more than 72,000
deportations of parents who
said they had U.S.–born
children, according to reports
to Congress; many of those
individuals were returned to
Mexico. More than 6,500
expatriated/repatriated
binational children have been
identified in the state of Baja
California; and that number is
growing.
Return migration from the United
States to Mexico is mainly caused by
the recession driven labor market in
the U.S. and by the mass deportation
of undocumented parents of these
children.
Since immigration is a psycho-socialgeographical transition that involves
a series of losses and changes, these
repatriated/expatriated children and
youth find themselves facing the
trauma of leaving behind all that they
had known in their lives in the United
States and having to cope with the
human development challenges
together with cultural adaptation and
academic challenges. Studies show
that these children consistently
express feeling a sense of great loss;
they have specific needs that
emanated from their
repatriation/expatriation condition
and the education system cannot
cater to the many specific needs of
these children.
Upon learning about this problem of
immense consequence in the lives of
these children, the International
Community Foundation partnered
with the Mexican organization
Fundacion Para La Proteccion de La
Niñez, I.A.P., to identify and develop
8
possible
interventions to assist these children
and youth to overcome the inherent
challenges of their situation, so that
as adults they will be equipped to
make informed choices about living
productive lives as full citizens of
whichever country they choose.
In August 2013, an after school pilot
program was launched to serve 32
students from the Secundaria General
#10 Centro Integral Francisco Villa, a
middle school in Tijuana. The
program ran throughout the 20132014 school year. It is the first
program of this kind in Baja California
that has been designed and
implemented to work directly with
repatriated/expatriated binational
students. These students are part of
PROBEM (Programa Binacional de
Educación Migrante.)
As the school year came to an end,
results showed that the most
effective aspects of the program
were reflected in the students’ human
development, helping them to
overcome the culture shock and the
scars of deportation, and to recover
their hopes and dreams. The more
those hopes and dreams are kept

Health
ICF as Leader : Cross-Border Health
Tuberculosis (TB)
remains a challenge in
Baja California due to the
state's high levels of
human migration and
persistent problems with
urban poverty.
assistance in the United States, it has
become clear that government
(Federal, State, Local) cannot solve
the cross-border problem of TB
transmission alone.
In response to the challenge of MDRTB in Baja California and the growing
risk to neighboring communities in
California, in late 2012 the
International Community Foundation
(ICF) stepped up to support the
Puentes de Esperanza program in
coordination with the State of Baja
members of patients; a key strategy
to prevent new cases from emerging
in the border region.
Beyond ICF's direct support for the
Puentes de Esperanza program, our
Foundation has also worked to
enable the procurement of the
GeneXpert rapid TB detection
equipment for Baja California's TB lab
in Tijuana thanks to the support of
donors Dr. Sam Dychter, Dr. Robert
Chang, the WebMD Foundation and
two local San Diego area Rotary
In fact, Baja California continually
ranks #1 among all Mexican states in
terms of TB incidence, with a rate of
47.5 new cases per 100,00 people
(compared to a rate of 4 x 100,000 in
the U.S.). A related challenge in Baja
California is the state's high incidence
of Multi-Drug Resistant TB (MDR-TB),
which is both highly contagious and
costly to treat.
Given that infectious diseases do not
respect political boundaries,
binational coordination and response
is critical yet in this era of declining
public health funding and foreign

Hurricane Odile Disaster Relief
dile, one of the strongest tropical hurricanes to
ever hit Mexico’s Baja California peninsula,
wreaked havoc as it made landfall near Cabo
San Lucas on the night of Sunday, September
14, 2014, until it finally dissipated over the mountains of
northwest Mexico on Wednesday afternoon, September
17th.
O
The International Community Foundation (ICF)
immediately sprung into action as donors, partners, and
residents sought ways to help. ICF’s donor community
responded with over $65,000 in donations and $300,000
in pledges to date. ICF also reached out to its partner, the
Inter-American Development Bank, which committed
$200,000 for immediate disaster relief efforts through
the Mexican Red Cross.
ICF actively reached out to local organizations in the
affected communities in Baja California Sur to assess local
needs. Grants were quickly issued to 14 local groups in
Los Cabos, Todos Santos, Loreto, and La Paz, who all
stepped into the role of first responders in providing
food, clean water, shelter and clothing to local families
that lost everything.
We thank our generous donors for making it possible to
respond to Hurricane Odile. ICF is continuing to support
rebuilding efforts throughout the Baja California
Peninsula. Baja strong!

Olivewood Gardens
Olivewood Gardens and
Learning Center served
over 2,000 students last
year from National City and
throughout San Diego
County working with 500
volunteers and 9 staff.
Since their first school field
trip in February of 2010,
they have hosted over
38,000 visits from children
and families.
Olivewood’s purpose is to empower
children and families to lead healthy,
active lives through nature and food.
They do this through three types of
programs – Children, Family, and Adult
education. All of the programs are
experiential – they focus on learning
through doing. Olivewood visitors go
home with hands-on experience and a
new confidence that empowers them to
be adventurous eaters and make
healthy choices.
Last year Olivewood’s
children program
provided free or low
cost experiences for
over 1,300 children
and youth. Local
students visited the
Gardens three times
during the year,
seeding in one season
and then harvesting in
the next. They prepared
and took home three
different recipes and tried
new vegetables like kale, Swiss
chard, and beets.
Through their family program,
Olivewood educated an additional 1,500
children and parents, who learned
together to care for plants, grow food at
home, and prepare healthy recipes.
Last year Olivewood expanded their
adult education programs. Parents
learned and practiced new
behaviors of healthier
living. They educated
over 250 adults
through classes and
trained more than
500 adults as
volunteers and
interns.
These programs are
having a big impact.
Healthy eating is one
of the three behaviors
