Recognizing that small grants to local nonprofits in this rural region would not result in meaningful health improvement, we embarked on a collaborative and intentional strategy to transfer wealth and shift power to the local residents of Imperial Valley through what is now called the Imperial Valley Wellness Foundation (IVWF). With significant capacity-building funding and a commitment to transfer $7.

5 million (10 percent of AHF’s entire endowment), IVWF is building roots and activating local community members to envision and realize a better future for the region they call home. Founded in 2019 as an independent and locally managed 501(c)(3) charity in Imperial County, IVWF continues to build relationships and work collaboratively across multi-sectors at the local, southern CA border region, and state levels.

Thanks to the efforts of Roque Barros, inaugural Executive Director, IVWF is being seen as a trusted convener, connector and change-maker for this rural border region. Visit www. ivwf.
