The mission of the Inland Empire Community Foundation is to enhance the quality of life in the communities it serves by building permanent endowments, making prudent grants for charitable causes, acting as a catalyst to solve community concerns, and strengthening nonprofit organizations.
The Build Coachella Valley Fund Grant, established in 2023, seeks to enhance the social, environmental, and economic resilience of the Coachella Valley. By adopting a collective impact approach to both fundraising and grantmaking, it aims to rejuvenate local philanthropy by supporting effective, mission-driven organizations. These efforts are designed to improve well-being and prosperity for residents, with a specific focus this year on addressing food insecurity in the region.
