Donate to I-House

Give to I-House: Invest in Connection. Invest in Hope.

In a year defined by uncertainty, division, and the celebration of our 40th Anniversary, International House Davis remains a place where cultures meet, voices are heard, and belonging is built. Curious to see the impact you made? Check our Annual Report here.

While global headlines fractured and polarized, your generosity ensured we offered an essential antidote: context, dignity, and the human story.

Thanks to you, new community-building programs like Hope Café, the International Book Club, and our Happiness Workshops launched in 2025 — and we are excited to continue and expand them in 2026.

At this critical moment, we are choosing to drive toward a welcoming and inclusive future. We believe culture is how our community thinks, imagines, learns, and belongs. Through the arts, dialogue, learning, and connection, we nurture the understanding that transforms strangers into neighbors.

But we need your support more than ever. Continued funding instability could endanger the programs that uplift newcomers, families, artists, international students, and community members seeking belonging and cultural exchange.

Your Gift Makes the Difference

Can we count on you once more to invest in connection with a year-end gift to I-House?
