San Bernardino County Nonprofit Assistance Fund - Now Open

For full information and to check eligibility visit www.iegives.org/funds/sb-county-npo-assistance-fund/

The San Bernardino County Nonprofit Assistance Fund is a partnership between San Bernardino County and Inland Empire Community Foundation to help nonprofits survive the impacts of COVID-19 on their operations. The fund was developed after the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors approved $5 million in financial support to the nonprofit community using CARES Act funding.

Under the new program, grants will be awarded to nonprofits that demonstrate reimbursable COVID-19 expenses that were incurred in response to the pandemic or to mitigate the effects of COVID on their operations.

Nonprofit organizations in San Bernardino County that have experienced a loss of revenue and increased expenses during COVID-19 are encouraged to apply.

IECF, which is managing the grant program, will oversee the application and review process, in collaboration with the IE Funders Alliance. Grant awards will be dispersed directly by San Bernardino County to IECF-approved nonprofits. ... See MoreSee Less

Want to make your arts programming more accessible and inclusive, but don’t know where to start? Our free online arts and accessibility showcase, Let's Create Access, can help. This free online meeting will take place on November 19, 2020 from 9 a.m. to noon(PST) on Zoom.

Enjoy some inclusive stand-up comedy, learn about making the visual arts accessible through verbal descriptions, and experience verbally described artworks and performance. Learn about the history of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) through an excerpt of the play “One Day on the Road to the ADA.” You’ll take away insights and resources that will help you ensure that your next arts program is accessible and inclusive for everyone.

This online experience was developed by Jennifer Kane, Executive Director of Arts Connection, in collaboration with disability community leaders, artists, and allies.
Speakers and participating artists include: Gary Ferrer, Folklorico master, Louise Fryer, author of “An Introduction to Audio Description.” Dr. Victoria Lewis, documentary theater artist and disability activist (University of Redlands), and Dr. Kate Zankowicz, inclusive arts education practitioner.

Spaces are limited, so please register below to secure your spot. The last day to register for this online arts experience is November 5, 2020.

This arts and accessibility showcase was made possible with the generous support of The California Arts Council and the National Arts and Disability Center.

We look forward to meeting you!
