How we help our community

Every year the RAP Foundation awards over one million dollars to nonprofits in the Coachella Valley and Palo Verde Valley to advance our mission to provide funding, oversight, technical assistance, and guidance to nonprofits, community-based organizations, or other collaborative groups, which serve the population of eastern Riverside County in the areas of health, mental health, and juvenile intervention.

We not only provide cash grants, but also technical assistance grants for organizations seeking to improve their capacity.
