Founded in 1941, the Inland Empire Community Foundation is the oldest and largest community foundation serving the Inland region.
The foundation invites applications for the Cultivating Inland Empire Latino Opportunity Fund (CIELO Fund), which is dedicated to uplifting and investing in the Inland Empire’s Latino community and supports organizations, initiatives, and innovations that are led by–and serve–Latinos in Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The CIELO Fund also invests in the next generation of leaders through the CIELO Fund Scholarship Program, commissions original research, and works on efforts that promote positive narratives for Latinos in the IE.
Key focus areas include leadership development and capacity building, economic mobility, education equity, health equity, racial equity, immigrant integration, and media and narrative change
The project and grant scope is limited to the Inland Empire, and all funded activities will be limited to Riverside County and San Bernardino County only, with special consideration given to those organizations headquartered, founded, and anchored in the region. Only organizations with operating budgets of $500,000 or less will prioritize this grant cycle. Grants of up to $15,000 will be awarded.
Applicants must be tax-exempt as defined by section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code or have a fiscal sponsor. For media and narrative grants, consideration will be given to media outlets and projects.
