A local charity is announcing a new fund that is designed to uplift the Latino community.
CIELO stands for Cultivating the Inland Empire Latino Opportunity, and a big part of the fund is to give college scholarships.
The CIELO fund is part of the Inland Empire Community Foundation which gathers money from local philanthropists.“All of those nonprofits that are targeting the Inland Empire, those are the ones we want to support,” Rodriguez said. "Many of us rely on volunteers to do this work so this is an opportunity for organizations like todec,” Luz Gallegos, TODEC legal center executive director, said.
