International Sonoran Desert Alliance

International Sonoran Desert Alliance (ISDA) is a non-profit corporation founded in 1993 with a mission to preserve and enrich the environment, culture, and economy of the Sonoran Desert. ISDA's initiatives encompass environmental, cultural, real estate, and business development projects, aiming to create a region characterized by environmental excellence and a thriving arts and culture scene. The organization is dedicated to promoting the concept and practice of conservation, providing education on the protection of valuable biological and cultural resources, and devising sustainable solutions to local challenges such as housing and economic development. Moreover, ISDA facilitates broad community participation through public meetings, gathering input from diverse voices and cultures. Notably, the organization conducts its business in three languages – English, Spanish, and O'odham, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and collaboration with indigenous and non-indigenous populations in the United States and Mexico. The most recent investment in ISDA was a grant received on 21 June 2019, with the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona as the investing entity. ISDA's focus on environmental preservation, cultural enrichment, and sustainable economic development aligns with the growing global emphasis on socially responsible initiatives. The organization's multi-faceted approach, inclusive decision-making processes, and commitment to bilingual communication make it a noteworthy venture for potential investors seeking to support initiatives that prioritize social, cultural, and environmental impact.
