As a volunteer organization, the International Friendship Club (IFC) is committed to funding charitable causes. Social activities are also available to the membership, many of whom also volunteer countless hours endeavoring to make our programs a success.
The IFC began in 1985 with a handful of people from the United States and Canada meeting socially. This blossomed into the well known charitable organization that exists today.
Through financial contributions, as well as devoted and compassionate service, humanitarian aid in excess of ten million pesos has been provided to needy children and families living in this beautiful tropical city.

The IFC takes pride in its unique Cleft Palate Program. It begins with providing fees for transporting doctors who donate their time to perform the surgeries. It ends with seeing smiles on the children’s faces and their parent’s tears of joy at its completion.
Additionally, the IFC provides: free medication; disaster relief aid; educational assistance; monthly financial assistance; a dental hygiene program and food to families as well as gifts to other Charitable Institutions.
Our membership has a caring compassionate camaraderie and love for the less fortunate, in abundance. In order to maintain the programs that we support, your assistance is requested. Be so kind as to consider this an invitation to become a valued member of our organization.
Where aid is provided:

Through donations, membership fees and fundraising, the IFC has successfully sponsored many projects. Your donations, which include educational materials and medical supplies and equipment, make it possible for us to continue to do more.
Your volunteer time enhances our projects as well as the lives of all concerned. We welcome your participation, which is valued.
Your support, which this organization depends upon, is essential to our success.

Hi, I have participated in the Home Tours in Puerto Vallarta each Feb. when I visit PV. I have not been able to find any information on the tours for a couple of years as the meeting places have all been demolished. Do you still have them and where is the meeting point if you do have them? I am visiting PV from Jan 30th until Feb. 7th and would love to do another Home Tour. Please contact me.Thanks very much. Margi Berkley St. Louis, Mo.
