The Cielo Fund is making Generational Impact

The CIELO Fund, a trailblazing initiative dedicated to uplifting Latino-led and Latino-serving organizations, hosted a vibrant celebration to announce a significant milestone: raising $2 million to support critical services and programs in the Inland Empire. The event, which drew nonprofit leaders, community advocates, and regional stakeholders, highlighted the collective power of philanthropy to address the unique needs of the region’s Latino communities.

Held at the Inland Empire Community Foundation, the celebration served as a platform to honor the contributions of donors and recognize the transformative work of the organizations supported by the fund. “This milestone is a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared vision,” said Michelle Decker, President and CEO of IECF.

The $2 million raised will directly benefit a range of Latino-serving organizations working in education, healthcare, civic engagement, and economic empowerment. These funds are expected to strengthen their capacity to deliver essential services, address systemic inequities, and create new opportunities for the region’s Latino residents.

The event featured testimonials from grant recipients who shared how the CIELO Fund has supported their missions.
