About Us
ITF was founded in the spirit of collaboration to serve as an interfaith ecosystem in Southern California. We partner with various faith, interfaith, community and social service organizations to build relationships, share resources, leverage technology, identify needs and gaps in our community and create programs to service those needs. We strive to build an efficient, online resource center that not only collects all of the existing interfaith resources in our community, but also utilizes the platform to highlight new programs and services. Our strength lies in our partnerships and collective vision to better serve our community.
Mission
To create a unified interconnected interfaith community through collaboration, partnership and shared resource center.
Vision
The world will be a better place when all faiths work together to better serve the needs of the community.
