Inland Empire Community Foundation Receives Gift From Amazon

Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) is delighted to announce a $108,000 gift from Amazon, which will benefit the Inland Empire’s black and Latino communities and others that promote environmental causes. Amazon’s gift will also bring added resources to the Youth Grantmakers Program, now in its 15th year. Amazon’s donation will enhance existing programs and provide crucial support to the individuals and families who need it most.

Grants from IECF’s Signature Funds make it possible for organizations to create impact through social justice programs, housing initiatives, educational scholarships, and environmental – all key areas of need for many communities across the region.

IE Black Equity Fund advances their mission of Black-led and Black-empowering organizations through program and project support and capacity building.

Cultivating Inland Empire Latino Opportunity is a foundation that empowers Latinos in our communities by uplifting and investing in organizations and initiatives led by and serving Latinos in the region.

Youth Grantmakers is dedicated to teaching the tradition of philanthropy and community involvement to youth in the Inland Empire.

“By supporting IECF, Amazon demonstrates its commitment to corporate social responsibility and inspires others to do the same,” said Brie Griset Smith, Sr. VP of Charitable Giving at IECF.
