The IFC organizes and funds many community initiatives. Our English Outreach Program offers basic English language skills to local residents who need it for work or school, and our Dental Outreach Program helps children who lack dental care in the Boca de Tomatlán and south shore area.
Our Education Committee offers grants to support educational initiatives underway in some of Vallarta’s most economically challenged areas, partnering with a diverse group of established and respected educational and charitable organizations including the American School and British American School, Los Mangos Library and The Vallarta Youth Orchestra, The Volcanas Community Education Project and SETAC Community Center, and The Vallarta Botanical Gardens.

Our Home Tours program, a staple since the mid-1980s, and our other Tours, raise funds that not only help support all the activities mentioned above, they also are the main source of fundraising for our flagship program, the IFC Cleft Palate Surgery program, which also dates back the mid-1980s. Our thanks go out to the fantastic volunteer medical team and IFC members who organize and carry them out, as well as local businesses and restaurants and the CMQ Hospital and staff and the Villanueva family for their vital assistance in making this program an ongoing success.
