Our mission is to champion local philanthropy to benefit the Imperial Valley community by helping donors fulfill their philanthropic goals while preserving enduring charitable assets forever.
The Imperial Valley Community Foundation is proud to be Imperial Valley's leading philanthropic organization and facilitator of charitable giving and community needs. We encourage, support and facilitate meaningful dialogue on issues affecting each of our communities, and work with philanthropists to develop creative solutions to meet critical community needs.
Since our inception, the Imperial Valley Community Foundation has helped public-spirited citizens find ways to address community problems. We now manage nearly thirty funds. Through them, our donors support numerous organizations and serve a variety of extraordinary causes. Our donors and funds all share a common purpose: to make Imperial Valley a better place to live, work and play.
In 1987, a group of concerned Imperial Valley residents first formed the Imperial Valley Community Foundation, creating a permanent endowment for the people of the region. Initial gifts were made by Dr. and Mrs. Fred Heald and Mrs. Jean King.
Governed by Board of Directors of Valley residents, IVCF raised assets to meet local charitable needs. IVCF enjoys the charitable support of The San Diego Foundation.
The Ocotillo Wind Imperial Valley Fund will support new and existing programs that improve the quality of life of Imperial Valley residents and communities.
