Farewell.
Thank You to Our Volunteers.
Facing the enormous needs of an emerging society
of immigrants, who come from all the different parts
of the country, looking for work, shelter, dignity and
a home, who find opportunities here for a better life,
they have voted with their bodies and their presence,
because in Tijuana they are better off than in the
places whence they have come…
The Tijuana International Community Foundation
[FIC] offers an intelligent, orderly, creative and noble
answer, an answer that will help to ease their problems by helping them self-develop.
Collaborating with FIC has been a wonderful experience, profoundly educational, full of results, joy, and
constant work seeking mechanisms that would guarantee us the ability to help those who most need it.
My mother always said: “One does not do good out
of altruism, but instead through selfishness” because
we seek to achieve a better society, with less deprivation, which we can pass on to future generations. And
this option is, undoubtedly, provided by FIC.
Some years have passed and I feel that a certain
stage of my life has passed. Although the responsibility to care for others never ends, there does come
a time to pass the baton to a new generation. And
that will be to Don Mario Garcia, a very capable man,
but above all, a generous supporter of philanthropy,
who will guide the programs and projects that will
surely be reflected in the smiles of the children and
youthful recipients of scholarships, of women entrepreneurs, in the community groups, and in rehabilitation centers where the hope for a better quality of life
prevails.
Without a doubt, we have been supported by a true
team of men and women, committed to the common
good; individuals who are enthusiastic, creative, proactive, and dedicated to the most noble causes – to
them, to Director Maria Antonieta Beguerisse and to
all of those who are part of the FIC Board of Trustees,
I want to express my deep gratitude.
To my fellow board members at the Foundation,
please accept my respect and recognition of your
selfless work. To our benefactors, I extend my affection and admiration. To our advisors, THANK YOU for
your friendship and understanding.
When we, at the International Community Foundation
(FIC), begin a social service project, you can be certain we are trying to respond to specific needs of a
certain sector of the population: shelter for orphans, a
clinic for low-income people, medicines for terminally
ill patients, assistance centers for handicapped individuals, women’s small business projects, community
projects, sports for children and youth, rehabilitation
centers for people with addictions, projects for the
sharing of culture and the arts, etc.
To be able to implement such projects, we need ample
economic resources: but above all, we need VOLUNTEER HUMAN RESOURCES, that is, sensitive persons
who are willing and able, who are honest, whether or
not professionals; we need persons of good will to donate their TIME and KNOWLEDGE without expecting
a monetary reward, without asking for recognition for
their work, who spare no effort. Persons who become
our volunteers will nourish the organizations and institutions, assuming responsibilities that beyond the
daily tasks of our personal lives. We recognize the
enormous value of your contribution, whose only interest is to provide services to people who are suffering from poverty and illness. Our volunteers are quiet
souls who transform material resources into humane
actions, and humane actions into spirituality.
There are also people who prefer to offer companionship to terminally ill patients, children or seniors, to promote activities in low income neighborhoods, or visit people who are incarcerated, give
training courses, or career or vocational guidance
talks, among hundreds more. Your warm presence
and your selfless collaboration inject life into organizations and institutions, in addition to reducing
the costs related to operations and administration.
For these reasons, we salute you by giving special
recognition to all the persons who participate as volunteers: for your generosity and affectionate giving
to the social causes in all the different organizations,
both public and private, urging you to keep going,
because your work provides hope for a more humane
life in today’s chaotic world.
If you are reading this letter and have, on occasion,
thought of supporting us, don’t think about it any
more: please join us as a VOLUNTEER at the Foundation. We need you! Here at FIC there is much to
be done and you can find a place to channel your
interests.
Thank you so much for being the light in the night,
and the warmth in the winter.
Affectionately, your friend,
José Galicot Behar
President

Capacity Building
As representatives of CEMEFI (the Mexican Center for
Philanthropy), our Foundation promotes the accreditation in Institutionality and Transparency Indicators for
non-profit organizations in Baja California.
Creating a country that offers a better quality of life
and opportunities for Mexican citizens requires its organizations to be professional and transparent, which
report about its work and the impact of that work, both
for donors and recipients, as well as society in general.
Day by day the caring sector of our country is getting
stronger, as much for the growth of donations of time
and talent, as for the professionalization and transparency of the civil society. To the extent that the
culture of transparency grows in the civil society so
does the legitimacy, self-regulation, credibility, and
trust in its institutions.
Aware of this reality, the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI) proposed a system of “indicators
of institutionality and transparency” as a response
to the growing necessity for non-profit organizations
to publicly and professionally demonstrate their efforts, and to be transparent in the management of
resources.
In this sense, the “indicators” respond to society’s
growing demand to know which organizations can receive donations of time, talent and money, helping
donors in making those decisions. This effort constitutes a first step in assuring minimal, desirable levels
of institutionality and transparency.
16 | ANNUAL REPORT 2008
Because we are representatives of CEMEFI, FIC Baja
has promoted this accreditation system in Baja California; in 2008 more than 80 Tijuana, Rosarito, and
Tecate organizations were invited to participate, with
12 of those organizations achieving accreditation.
Next year we will promote accreditation for another
25 organizations in the State of Baja California.
Through the efforts of State Legislator Carlos Torres, SEDESOE [write out the name
of the state agency] has signed an Agreement with FIC to provide 50% of the cost of
the accreditation for each organization (up
to a maximum of 75); with the support of the
State Development Agency, the other 50% of
the cost will be covered for each organization interested in accreditation.
Presently, FIC offers technical consulting to each organization regarding the best ways to strengthen the
group in those many aspects that are included in the
IIT, as some of the non-profit organizations are new
and still need to comply with certain requirements.
Others must change some of their administrative procedures and still others are incorporating suggestions
so that in the short term they may reach accreditation
with the IIT.

satisfactorily complied with the IIT
requirements and have become accredited

Auditor’s report
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR´S REPORT
Tijuana, B.C., July 11, 2008 (December 17 for purposes of the matters in
paragraphs 5, 6 and 7).
Board of Directors of “Fundación Internacional de la Comunidad, A.C.”
1.We have examined the general balance of the “Fundación Internacional de
la Comunidad, A.C.” (Foundation) as of December 31st, 2007, as well as
the statement of activities and changes in the financial situation for the year
that ended on that date. Said financial statements are the responsibility of the
Foundation´s Administration. Our responsibility is to, based on these statements, give an opinion on same.
2.Our analysis was performed in accordance to the generally accepted auditing
regulations in Mexico, which require the audit to be planned and performed
in such a way that a reasonable certainty can be obtained in that the financial
statements do not have any significant errors, and that they have been prepared
in accordance to the Mexican Regulations for Financial Information (RFI) that
are applicable to the Foundation. The Audit is an examination, based on selective tests, of the evidence that supports the numbers and disclosures of the
financial statements; it also evaluates the RFIs that were used, the significant
estimates performed by the administration, and of the financial statements as a
whole. We believe our analysis provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
3.As mentioned in paragraph 2, the numbers of the attached financial statements have been determined based on their historical value, which is why they
do not take inflation into consideration as is required in RFI B-10 “Acknowledgement of the Effects of Inflation on Financial Statements” and B-16
“Financial Statements of Non-Profit Organizations”, issued by the Mexican
Council for Research and Development of Regulations for Financial Information (CINIF, acronym in Spanish). Had inflation been taken into consideration
in the financial statements as of December 21, 2007, the balance of the assets
would have increased by approximately $96,386 USD. In addition, in updating the assets, a surplus or deficit account would have been registered, and the
net effect would have been reflected in the assets, since this would be its main
effect.
4. On July 11, 2008, we issued our opinion on the Foundation´s financial
statements as of December 21, 2007. In said opinion we indicated that the
Foundation had received a donation consisting of beams and structures. The
Foundation was in the process of obtaining supporting information as to the
reasonable value of this donation, in accordance to RFI E-2 “Income and
Contribution received by Non-Profit Organizations”, issued by CINIF.
On the other hand, we stated that it was not practical to specify the effects
of not taking inflation into consideration in the attached financial statements,
which were considered important as there was no detailed information as to
the Foundation´s assets from its beginnings. Because of these two situations,
we refused to give an opinion.
5. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, after we provided our opinion, the
Foundation´s Administration obtained supporting documentation that allows
the donated assets (mentioned in the previous paragraph) to be reasonably
valued at $192,005 USD. See Note 1.
6. After we provided our opinion on July 11, 2008, the Foundation´s administration provided us detailed information as to what the Foundation´s assets
were comprised of, which allowed us to evaluate the effects of inflation, which
were mentioned in paragraph 3.
7. In our opinion, except for the lack of acknowledgement of the effects of
inflation in the financial information indicated in paragraphs 3 and 6, the
aforementioned financial statements, reasonably present, in all significant
aspects, the Foundation´s financial situation as of December 31st, 2007, the
results of its activities, and the changes of its financial situation for the year
ended on that date, in accordance to the Mexican Regulations for Financial
Information.
8. In addition, using auditing procedures applied in the analysis of the basic
financial statements, we have reviewed the narrative and statistical information the Foundation´s Administration has included in the notes on the financial
information, which was prepared under the responsibility of the Foundation´s
Administration and which is presented for further analysis. In our opinion,
said complementary information is presented in a reasonable manner, in all
significant aspects as regards said basic financial statements that have been
analyzed.
9.The financial statements for the year ending December 31st, 2006 and
which were presented for comparative purposes, were analyzed by a different
independent public accountant, who issued his report, without exceptions, on
July 2, 2007.
