Research and Reports
IECF relies on data that show where disparities exist to drive our grantmaking, programs, and partnerships, as shown in the reports below. Our donors and fund holders are essential partners in this effort, as we learn together and seek the gifts that can provide a better quality of life and greater self-determination for our powerfully diverse Inland Empire residents.
