Michelle Decker, President & CEO, addresses the Regional Wildfire Resilience Task Force Convening
The Inland Empire deserves a foundation that is strong, steady, and always here for the region we serve. We’re focused on leading the way in addressing the big issues that face our community – today and for generations to come. This is the vision behind our Here for Good Fund, and a commitment we renew every day.
Every dollar invested in this fund strengthens IECF’s role as a regional leader and trusted partner. This fund is vital to our work, enabling us to be a powerful force for lasting, positive change across our region. It’s what allows us to build nonprofit strength and spark innovation, raise awareness of local needs, and mobilize resources to meet them.

Our Role as a Regional Anchor
The work of a community foundation is unique and essential. Across the country, there are over 900 community foundations that act as permanent charitable engines for their regions, bringing people together to tackle long-term challenges and seize opportunities.
For the Inland Empire, this means IECF is deeply committed to community leadership and establishing a resilient regional presence. We wear many hats: we’re grantmakers, conveners, researchers, and advocates for our people. We name disparities where needed and highlight the voices and leadership already active in our neighborhoods. When you support the Here for Good Fund, you’re investing in the very infrastructure that allows us to show up, listen, and act with and for the people who call the Inland Empire home.
A Powerful Opportunity to Double Your Impact
This giving season, your generosity can go even further. Amazon will match contributions to the Here for Good Fund, dollar for dollar, up to $100,000.
The Amazon matching opportunity is designed to strengthen IECF for this critical work. By helping us reach this match goal, you are building the capacity we need to apply the Vital Conditions Framework, invest strategically in our local nonprofits, and ensure that our team can remain forward-thinking and responsive to regional needs. This is a powerful opportunity to double your impact and help build a stronger, more resilient Inland Empire for all.
Join us in standing Here for Good for our people, our nonprofits, and our shared future. Side by side, we can ensure that the Inland Empire remains a place where generosity thrives and every resident has the opportunity to succeed.
