Founded in 1948, The International Foundation has supported non-profit development organizations working in the Western Hemisphere, Africa, the Near- and Far-East and Island nations for over five decades. Recognizing the importance of emerging economies and the development challenges they face, The International Foundation's mission has been dedicated to the support of projects that promote sustainable development in agriculture, education, health and the environment.

Our goal has been to learn from our experience and to gain a greater understanding of what is working and producing results so that we may continue to improve the focus and the effectiveness of our resources. The Trustees are committed to a judicious use of resources to help support projects devoted to the development and growth of communities and to enhance the capacity of individuals and their communities to become full partners in working to fulfill their aspirations.

The International Foundation does not fund programs within the U.S., but does not set geographical boundaries in its international grant making. Its objective is to seek a geographic and sector balance among the project it supports.
