Since 1992, International Care Ministries (ICM) has brought our foundation of help, hope, and change to more than two million people. Now one of the largest nonprofit organizations in the Philippines, here’s a look at our work around the world.

How is ICM Different?

ICM is uniquely focused on serving the ultra-poor. Many people living in ultra-poverty survive on less than US$0.50 per person per day and have critical needs that go unmet.

We are data-driven

ICM takes a business approach to fighting poverty. We are effective, efficient, and scalable, and our results show it:

500mm

Over 500 million data points collected

10%%

Reduction in serious illness

107%%

Increase in income after four-months among ultra-poor

25%%

Increased social safety net

We are growing

We believe we can always do better tomorrow than we did yesterday. ICM is a charity that values innovation. We seek to grow our impact in three dimensions.

Wider

Expanding our geographic reach

Deeper

Improving our impact through research and innovation

Stronger

Maintaining growth through sustainability strategies

At ICM, we spend just 5% on administrative costs in the Philippines. We are transparent with our finances and commit to maximizing every dollar you give. That means you can be confident that your gift is always reaching the people who need it most.

We need your help

Please partner with ICM today to bring help, hope and change.
