The mission of the McMillen Family Foundation is to provide assistance to eligible groups in Southern California which are dedicated to helping people of all ages who have been impacted, directly or indirectly, by alcohol and/or drugs and to provide community outreach and education to prevent alcohol and/or drug addiction before it starts.

What We Do The McMillen Family Foundation is a grant-making Foundation which serves non-profit organizations in Southern California that assist people affected by drug and alcohol dependency through treatment, prevention, and education. The McMillen Family Foundation continually seeks out new avenues for making a difference in the lives of persons affected by substance use.

The Foundation seeks to assist economically disadvantaged persons, especially those among the young, the elderly, and the disabled. While the Foundation may support a limited amount of eye research, its emphasis is to support activities in the area of vision care, and to help those with sight problems to be self-sufficient.The Foundation places the highest priority on the grant proposals of nonprofits serving communities in the five-county region of Greater Los Angeles (Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties). Agencies who serve the Greater LA region but are headquartered elsewhere may also apply for a grant. It is highly unlikely that funding will be offered to an organization, initiative or project that falls outside of this area.Types of GrantsThe Foundation makes the following types of grants:

• Grants to support a specific project or program, or the acquisition by purchase or otherwise of one or more specific items of equipment needed for a project or program.
• Grants for seed money to assist in establishing a new project, program or organization, including salary and other operating expenses. Such grants are determined on a case-by-case basis.
• Grants to provide operating or general support. Such grants will be limited and will generally be acted upon only after one of the first two types of grants above.

Youth Grantmakers

Where Youth Voice Meets Real Impact

The Youth Grantmakers (YG) Program, powered by IECF, has been amplifying youth voices since 2008. This isn’t your average after-school program—it’s a leadership journey for high school students (ages 15–18) who want to make real change happen in their communities.

Through a 6-month, hands-on experience, Youth Grantmakers get trained up in grantmaking, build leadership skills, roll up their sleeves for community service, and dig into what matters most to young people across the region. From researching the issues, visiting nonprofits, analyzing grant proposals, and making funding decisions, they’re in the driver’s seat.

What Does the Fund Support?

In the past, YG grants have fueled everything from mental health programs to arts projects to educational initiatives. But in 2025, our student teams across Riverside, San Bernardino, and the Coachella Valley made a powerful move: to center all funding around Mental Health and Education Equity. Why? Because they know that not all students have the same shot at success—and they’re committed to changing that.

In February of 2025, as a collective group representing Riverside, San Bernardino and Coachella decided we wanted to shift the program focus to a more centralized effort. After conducting a Peer Assessment Survey the Inland Empire Youth Grantmakers has made Mental Health and Education Resources their funding focus area of support for the region. 

Mental Health

Youth today face an unprecedented mental health crisis, driven by social pressures, uncertainty about the future, and limited access to support. Prioritizing mental well-being, open conversations, and accessible resources is crucial to ensuring a healthier generation. “Depression, anxiety and behavioural disorders are among the leading causes of illness and disabilities among adolescents. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among those aged 15 to 29 years of age”, according to World Health Organizaiton.

Education Resources

Many high schools lack essential educational resources that could better prepare the students for the real world. Some of these key gaps include: Mental Health Support, Financial Literacy, Career Readiness Programs, and Life Skills Education to name a few.

Youth Mental Health and Education Resources Grantmaking Objectives

• Support nonprofits/programs that offer free, or low cost therapy, counseling, and psychiatric care for youth.
• Support nonprofits/programs that focus on youth mental health trends and advocate for systematic change
• Support nonprofits/school programs that focus on Career Readiness, College Preparation, Financial Literacy
• Support online therapy platforms, mental health apps, and virtual support networks
• Support intervention and prevention

Background

The California Fire Foundation (CFF) is a statewide nonprofit 501(c)(3) charitable organization based in Sacramento, CA. Formed in 1987, CFF’s mandate includes an array of survivor assistance projects and community initiatives. Since launching our first funding cycle, over 80% of Governor declared disasters have been wildfire related. The last few fire years in particular have been the deadliest and most destructive in California’s history.

Catastrophic, climate change-driven events pose a significant risk to the public’s safety. But, too often, under-resourced communities in high-fire threat areas lack the resources and information needed to stay safe. CFF, fire departments, local firefighter associations and other community-based organizations are positioned to work in partnership -- providing needed resources to help mitigate the risk of wildfires and other climate change-driven disasters.

Focus Areas

The California Fire Foundation supports projects that actively address wildfire preparedness and/or prevention needs, which protect and enhance the public’s safety or the safety of California’s firefighters and other first responders, including:

• Vegetation Mitigation & Fuels Reduction
• Education, Planning or Community Outreach Campaigns
• Personal Protective Equipment
• Specialized Firefighting Equipment
• First Responder Training

Inland Empire Community Foundation (IECF)

The Inland Empire Community Foundation’s mission is “Strengthening Inland Southern California through Philanthropy.” The Foundation does this by raising, stewarding and distributing community philanthropic assets and by providing grants and scholarships to nonprofit organizations, and working toward a shared vision of a vibrant, generous and just region with unlimited opportunities. 

Community Impact Fund: Meeting the Moment

IECF’s Community Impact Fund (CIF) is its only unrestricted grantmaking. Two years ago, the Community Impact Fund, IECF’s competitive grant opportunity, funded efforts by IE nonprofits to embark on their own journey of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and to consider how those ideas could enhance their impact. In 2025, given the impact of executive orders, federal funding cuts, and threatened future financial support to our nonprofit sector, IECF is focusing the CIF grant opportunity to assist nonprofits in this moment.

In June 2025, we hosted focus groups in three (3) locations – Riverside, San Bernardino and Coachella Valley. Twenty-two organizations participated from the sectors of Arts & Culture, Veteran Services, Youth Mentoring, Capacity Builder, College Prep, Immigrant Services, After School Program, Foster Youth, Health, Housing, Child Advocates, Senior Services, and Food Insecurity. Participants provided context on the state of IE nonprofits and consequently identified, prioritized, and delineated the most impactful, relevant and simplest ways to distribute $500,000 in grant funding.

Six (6) Months Core Operating Support Grants

Grants awarded are for general operating costs and may support efforts that enable an organization to effectively carry out its mission by strengthening organizational capacity and infrastructure to meet this moment of uncertainty.
