Mission

The Inland Empire Action Coalition, a 501(c)3 non-profit corporation, exists to bring about positive change in the community. We are a catalyst for government, non-profit, and community cooperation. We focus the energies of community volunteers, government agencies, other non-profits, and others on projects that will result in a real world impact! The Coalition does not support projects that result in unnecessary planning or studies, projects that duplicate effort or are for political purposes, or projects that don’t result in a real-world community benefit. Our great strength is our ability to get people of diverse backgrounds and interests working together toward a common goal that will help the community or solve a community problem.

What we do

While IEAC promotes a broad range of community improvement activities, our primary focus has been
habitat restoration and voluntary permanent conservation easements on critical habitat areas. We take our roles in protecting habitat and protecting private landowner's rights very seriously.

For example, IEAC ensures that our permanent conservation easements stay in place forever by:

• Creating a baseline inventory to document the pre-easement conditions
• Creating permanent photopoints that are monitored yearly
• Developing a stewardship plan that exceeds Land Trust Alliance standards
• Establishing a permanent stewardship endowment for monitoring, maintenance, and enforcement
• Ensuring that the easement is recorded on the deed
• Installing permanent boundary markers
