We serve American children as their national arts organization, seeding their imagination, cultivating creativity, and fostering mutual empathy among them (for “a more perfect union”) and with their peers worldwide (for a peaceful future). Founded in 1997, the International Child Art Foundation (ICAF) organizes the Arts Olympiad, a school art program that has grown over the years into the world’s largest; it also produces the World Children’s Festival at the National Mall, located across from the U.S. Capitol. ICAF's ad-free ChildArt quarterly magazine enhances cross-cultural understanding and global competencies. ICAF has organized Healing Art Programs to revive faith in nature of child victims of natural disasters, and Peace through Art Programs to restore trust in humanity of children in conflict zones.
From the degraded rainforests of Brazil to the arid landscapes of Morocco, Ecosystem Restoration Communities is a global movement that harnesses the collective power of individuals and communities to restore our planet’s ecosystems. Change takes root when it’s locally driven - and that’s why Ecosystem Restoration Communities are born, led, and sustained by the people who live there. Grounded in trust and community knowledge, they grow lasting solutions that ripple outward, educating, inspiring, and creating regional impact far beyond what traditional top-down conservation can achieve. When you support us, you help communities as they restore their land and livelihoods and foster a deep connection to nature - bringing hope, resilience, and global impact. Our mission is to: a) contribute to a fully functioning, peaceful, abundant and biologically diverse Earth through co-operative efforts for the ecological restoration of degraded lands; b) stimulate and support community based initiative, leadership, and capacity to implement activities and undertake interventions that result in restored ecological function, climate resilience, biodiversity enrichment, and restored water cycles while at the same time enhancing livelihoods and human well-being; c) disseminate knowledge, innovations and insights emanating from these community-based initiatives to policy makers, academia, practitioners and the general public; and d) train large numbers of people to restore the fundamental ecological integrity of earth, and to connect knowledge and expertise about these activities worldwide.
