WELCOME TO THE INTI RAYMI FUND

INTI RAYMI FUND MISSION

The Inti Raymi Fund is a 501c3, Non-Profit Public Charity dedicated to the Respectful Preservation of the Indigenous People of the World with their beautiful Art, Music, Dance and Traditional Customs.

Our organization will accomplish our mission through two main actions:

1) Substantial self-help projects, we call "Passion Projects", within each of the Indigenous Communities we visit and,

2) Through an Awareness Campaign with public presentations, mentorship of the open-minded messengers who we call "Chaskis", and the photographic and narrative information presented in this web site.

This web site is designed to enlighten, educate, and impassion the public of this special Humanitarian and Artistic Preservation Mission.

If this mission resonates with you, we invite you to explore our website further to learn what "we can do for you" through a change in your paradigm.

Thank you for your curiosity and support,

David McGrain (CHIMU)
INTI RAYMI FUND Director
