While every donation that the IFC receives is greatly appreciated, regardless of the amount, we cannot emphasize enough the importance of receiving monthly recurring donations. Meals for the hungry and much more need to be purchased regularly, our cleft palate assessment clinics are scheduled four times per year and every charity that we support has bills to pay each and every month. It is for these reasons that we ask you to please join our Partners In Giving program and donate monthly.
If you would like to request more information regarding a major donation, a legacy gift, a gift of stock, mutual funds or non-cash asset then please contact the IFC at the email: president@ifcvallarta.org
Something as simple as membership in the IFC is a great help! Money raised through member’s dues are used to fund our back office operating expenses enabling the IFC to direct 100% of net charitable giving where needed most. IFC’s annual membership dues are $600 pesos.
If you are coming to Puerto Vallarta and have extra space in your luggage then please bring some items from our wish list.
