Mission: The mission of INCF is to operate and engage with programs that assist and improve quality of life. Vision: To promote responsible and effective philanthropy with a focus on science, art, culture, indigenous peoples, education, and personal and global sustainability. Donor Information: Inter-Nation Cultural Foundation is a global donor-direct Ca 501(c)(3) non-profit, established in 1998. All donations are tax deductible. What is unique about INCF's global donor-direct status? Sanctioned specifically by the IRS as a donor-direct non-profit, one of seven in the country, INCF has several unique abilities: Donors may specify and follow up on the use of their funds. This gives donors a deeper sense of participation, as opposed to only being able to suggest, if that, the use of their funds when giving to organizations without donor-direct status. INCF has a federal exempt status, allowing us to collect money from any state. INCF can do projects abroad, taking U.S. exempt dollars out of the country. This is unique as it is very difficult to use tax-exempt funds out of country, especially after 9/11. Unlike a foundation where a donor can deduct only 30% of their taxable income, donors are able to write off up to 50% of their taxable income. This allows donors to divert more to charitable programs, as opposed to the government.
