IEHP Foundation Events
At IEHP Foundation, one of our core values is fostering a sense of belonging, so we encourage nonprofits to gather, convene and learn together. We do that by hosting events such as our IE Vibrant Health Forums and providing IE nonprofits and CBOs access to event and meeting space.
IE Vibrant Health Forums
IE Vibrant Health Forums are free, interactive educational workshops for local nonprofit leaders and professionals to hear from experts and thought leaders on the issues that shape health in our region. These gatherings are designed to spark new ideas, strengthen partnerships, and inspire collective action so that together, we can build a healthier, more connected Inland Empire.

Upcoming IE Vibrant Health Forums
IEHP Foundation is excited to partner with the Office of Governor Gavin Newsom to host an Appointments Workshop featuring the Governor’s Appointments Secretary, Morgan Carvajal on Thursday, October 23, 2025.
State boards and commissions make important decisions about resource allocation and strategies for various programs that impact residents across California. Serving on a statewide commission is essential for amplifying the voices and priorities of the Inland Empire. It ensures that our perspectives are not only heard but actively shape decision-making processes.
This workshop is an excellent opportunity to learn more about current vacancies available to serve on a statewide board or commission, the overall application process and hear about the impactful work that appointees lead on behalf of the State of California.
