Riverside County Nonprofit Assistance Fund

THIRD ROUND 

The Riverside County Nonprofit Assistance Fund is a collaborative effort to provide financial support to nonprofit organizations significantly impacted by COVID. In response to the pressure COVID has placed on our nonprofits, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors approved $5 million in CARES funding to establish the Riverside County Nonprofit Assistance Fund. Operating grants will be awarded to organizations to assist with their operating expenses and costs associated with loss of revenue due to the outbreak.

The Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF) was awarded the funds to administer, in partnership with the Department of Housing, Homelessness Prevention, and Workforce Solutions (HHPWS) and the Inland Empire Funders Alliance.

This is the third round of this grant opportunity. Current grantees of the Riverside County Nonprofit Assistance Fund are not eligible to apply.

​Grants range from $2,500 – $10,000

Opening Date: October 15, 2020
Closing Date: November 5, 2020
