We achieve our mission by working through a cultural competency lens across three primary focus areas.

We also provide support for a small number of arts organizations, in honor of our founders.

health & health equity

The Inland Empire of California is home to many vibrant yet vulnerable populations and significantly lags behind national benchmarks for medical service providers per 100,000 population. Our communities need access to culturally competent, affordable (or free) healthcare. To address this, we invest in accessible clinics while working to expand the healthcare/medical workforce.
