We inspire and ignite the health of the Inland Empire.
Iehp Foundation centers its grantmaking on the Inland Empire, with every recent grant in the data going to California organizations. The largest award in the recent list is $75,000 to Lift To Rise in Palm Desert for general operating support, and the rest of the current portfolio stays close to that same operating-support model, funding nonprofit infrastructure rather than tightly restricted projects. That pattern fits the foundation’s stated emphasis on health in the Inland Empire, where its priority areas include nonprofit leadership development, organizational capacity building, coalition development, social drivers of health, healthcare workforce development, affordable housing, healthy community environments, mental health access, and community wellness centers. Recent grants also show support for a broad set of local intermediaries and service providers, including Children’s Fund Inc in San Bernardino and Path of Life Ministries in Riverside. The overall picture is of a place-based funder using flexible dollars to strengthen community organizations across Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Its active programs include collaborative capacity building, grants for local nonprofits, and scholarship support tied to the regional healthcare workforce.
The foundation’s cause areas are tightly linked to community health in the Inland Empire. In housing and basic-needs work, it gave $65,000 to Hope through Housing Foundation in Rancho Cucamonga for general operating support, and it also funded housing-related work through Neighborhood Partnership Housing Services Inc in the same city. Food access is another clear priority: Feeding America Riverside and San Bernardino Counties received $65,000 for general operating support, while Martha's Village & Kitchen in Indio also received operating support. The health side of its portfolio includes mental health and community wellness organizations such as Pacific Clinics in Arcadia and Riverside Community Health Foundation in Riverside. Workforce development appears through Health Career Connection in Long Beach, which received general operating support.
Typical awards cluster tightly around operating grants: the median grant size is $10,000, with the 25th percentile also at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $15,000. The recent-grants list shows a much larger upper tier of operating awards, but the structured size distribution indicates that most grants are relatively modest. The portfolio appears recurring rather than one-off: the current pattern is organized around ongoing local grantmaking, collaborative capacity building, and scholarship support. The foundation funds organizations, not individuals, and its program design includes unsolicited access for some offerings such as meeting space and collaborative capacity building, while the main grants program is listed without unsolicited application access.

Grant dollars stay in California, and the recipient footprint is concentrated in the Inland Empire and nearby Southern California communities. San Bernardino, Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, Indio, and Palm Desert appear repeatedly in the recent list, with additional recipients in Fontana, Redlands, Upland, Apple Valley, and Temecula. The distribution is entirely U.S.-based, with 50 grants and 100% of recipients in the United States. Within the region, San Bernardino County cities show up especially often, matching the foundation’s local scope of giving.
It supports local nonprofit and community-based organizations focused on nonprofit leadership development, organizational capacity building, coalition development, social drivers of health, healthcare workforce development, affordable housing, healthy community environments, mental health access, and community wellness centers. Its active grant programs also include collaborative capacity building and grants tied to these priority areas.
The structured grant-size data shows a median grant of $10,000, with the 25th percentile also at $10,000 and the 75th percentile at $15,000. That points to a grant portfolio built around relatively small, flexible awards, even though some recent operating grants are larger.
The recent grants are overwhelmingly listed as general operating support, and the foundation’s philosophy tags include general operating support, unrestricted support, core organizational support, capacity building, and organizational resilience. That indicates a strong preference for ongoing organizational support rather than narrowly scoped project-only funding.
Its giving is local and concentrated in California. The top state by grant count is CA, and 100% of recipients in the grant distribution are in the HQ state. Recent recipients are spread across Inland Empire communities such as San Bernardino, Riverside, Rancho Cucamonga, Indio, Palm Desert, Fontana, and Redlands.
