The Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) has invited applications from nonprofits who want to apply for grants of up to $20K. These grants are aimed at strengthening recipient NPOs’ work that prioritizes equity, inclusion, and diversity in the communities they serve.

We Covered this in Weekly Wire Roundup

Deadline and Technical Assistance Workshop

The deadline for applying for this grant is midnight on Jan. 17, 2022, through IECF’s online process. Nonprofits wanting to learn more about the granting process can attend a technical assistance workshop on Jan. 6, 2022.

The Inland Empire Community Foundation has a rich and long history of serving in the region. We profiled the IECF in a separate article.

Community Impact Fund (CIF)

These grants are given under the 2021 Community Impact Fund (CIF). The Community Impact Fund is a responsive, open, competitive application process with one annual deadline. The Fund invests in four areas: Arts & Culture, Basic Needs, Environment, and Youth Development. The Foundation considers funding for both general operating support and program support.

Riverside and San Bernardino County

To improve the transparency of the grantmaking process, these grants administered by IECF will be given to NPOs operating in the Riverside and San Bernardino counties.

“IECF wants to learn about organizations’ vision of diversity, equity and inclusion and their diversity, equity and inclusion journey, at whatever stage of development it may be”.

Celia Cudiamat | Vice President, IECF

Qualification Criteria

To be eligible, NPOs applying for the grant must fulfill the criteria given below:

  • A nonprofit, public benefit organization with evidence of tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code
  • Not classified as a private foundation
  • Have an operating budget of $2 million or less
  • Must not discriminate in the hiring of staff or in providing services based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, national origin, or disability

“Our community is stronger when voices from diverse, vulnerable and isolated communities are lifted up, “People have access to opportunities and resources and can participate in decision making to improve conditions and quality of life.”

Celia Cudiamat | Vice President, IECF
