About Fontana Foundation of Hope
The Fontana Foundation of Hope focuses on locally rooted human services and health-related charity in the Inland Empire, with sizable gifts to organizations that serve vulnerable populations—particularly seniors and children/families connected to hospitals. Their giving is concentrated and relationship-driven: a large, repeated commitment to a local senior center plus support for regional Ronald McDonald House campaigns suggests priority for direct-service nonprofits that provide family-centered healthcare support and senior services in Fontana/IE.

About Fontana Foundation of Hope
Fontana Foundation of Hope’s recent giving shows a strong, repeated commitment to direct service in the Inland Empire, especially senior support and family-centered health-related fundraising. The clearest example is Hope Through Housing, which received $49,250 in 2023 and $48,750 in 2024 for senior center support in Rancho Cucamonga. That pattern points to a funder that sustains local programs rather than making one-off symbolic gifts. Family support tied to pediatric care is another visible thread. The foundation gave $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House for Walk for Kids, a sign that it backs community fundraising tied to hospital-related family services. Beyond those anchors, its grants reach local human services, veteran assistance, and youth-serving projects across Fontana and nearby Inland Empire cities. The portfolio also includes smaller awards for holiday drives, school-based support, youth sports, and special-needs inclusion. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor practical, community-level programs that deliver services, supplies, or event support to residents in its service area.

Inland Empire Ronald McDonald House received $25,000 in both 2023 and 2024 for Walk for Kids, linking the foundation to programs that support families connected to pediatric care.
