ICDF Board Matching Donation Campaign

Dear ICDF Supporters,

It's May, which means our first co-hort of five students are returning from their transformational journeys in India, East Africa and Central America.  We are excited to welcome them home, hear about their journeys and continue to support them throughout the summer.  For more information on their adventures, transformations and reflections, please check out our student blog on our website.  

As we welome them home, we also look toward our second group of students and we hope to be able to have 12 students next year.  In order to do that, we need to raise a total of $6,000 ($500/student) during the month of May.  This money will help us determine how many students we can accept for the next year, help us with student recruitment and support the new students through the Fall phase of the program.  

Last month ICDF became a finalist in the GoAbroad awards for innovation in international education in the category of Access and Equity.  We are proud of this accomplishment and want to use our innovative model to support more students.  Please help us to reach this goal by donating this month.  

The ICDF Board of Directors has generously agreed to match all gifts made before May 31st, up to $2,500.

Double the impact of your gift by making a donation today!

Thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

ICDF Board of Directors
