Your IECF eNewsletter is here!
February 03, 2025A message from Michelle Decker, President & CEO Welcome to 2025, friends! From Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the inauguration to the devastating Palisades and Eaton Fires, January has given us a lot to work on!
I am so happy that, with you, we continue to build and invest to help everyone in the IE thrive. Every IECF effort requires our diverse community to be with us. The work of making healthy places where everyone feels like they can have a good and fulfilling life takes a long time. As a community foundation stewarding your gifts, we are focused on the long haul, and we truly cherish those who see that lasting change is a long-term adventure.
This year, expect IECF to do some reflection and strategic planning. To those donors who have responded to our Center for Effective Philanthropy survey on how well we are doing, thank you! This is a year to tighten the ship because growth and opportunity is on the horizon and we want to be ready.
Strong and steady leadership is key to our success. I am very pleased that Jesse Melgar will lead our Board of Directors, where he becomes the first openly LGBTQ+ Chair, the first resident of the Coachella Valley and the first millennial to hold this position.
I also want to thank Nefertiti Long for her dedication and leadership as Board Chair over the past two years. She upheld our board's standard of exceptional leadership, and she will continue to live her passion as a philanthropist through the Women’s Giving Fund.
