Inland Empire Nonprofit Loan Fund
Information
Round 2 is officially open!
A powerful financing tool is now available to help strengthen nonprofit work across our region.
The IE Nonprofit Loan Fund is ready to support the organizations that keep our communities moving forward. Created by IECF in partnership with the City of Riverside, San Bernardino County, and the Nonprofit Finance Fund, this initiative expands access to flexible, affordable capital—so nonprofits can grow, adapt, and continue delivering essential services.
Organizations can use these loans to:
• Manage working capital needs
• Cover reimbursement delays
• Or move ahead with real estate and facility projects such as predevelopment, acquisition, improvements, or energy upgrades
Loan amounts range from $100,000 to $400,000 at below-market rates. As borrowers repay their loans, dollars flow back into the pool to help future applicants.
Nonprofits based in or serving the City of Riverside or communities across San Bernardino County are welcome to apply. The application window is open through May 31. We’re very proud that the Fund is designed to help organizations stay steady during challenging periods or position themselves for growth.
To help interested groups understand the details, we invite you to visit www.iegives.org/ienonprofitloanfund, where you can easily explore eligibility, see how the loan can be used, and follow a simple step-by-step guide to applying.
Our region is stronger because of your efforts, and we look forward to seeing you grow.
