Time for Change Foundation (TFCF) has been selected by the Bezos Day 1 Families Fund to receive a $1.25 million grant to help provide much-needed services in the Inland Empire.
Kim Carter, founder of TFCF, and Vanessa Perez, the executive director, said they were thankful to receive the award.
âWe are overwhelmed with the generosity of the Bezos Families Fund and humbled to know that the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has truly committed his philanthropic efforts to helping address the housing crisis and supporting homeless families,â Perez said.
