About Us

The Basin Wide Foundation was founded in 1996 as the Yucca Valley Foundation. Its purpose is to partner with other

organizations throughout the Morongo Basin in developing programs intended to enhance the quality of life for the residents

of its many communities and for the Morongo Basin as a whole. In mid-2001 the Foundation decided to change its name to the

Basin Wide Foundation in order to better describe its total area of interest and concern.

Unlike other philanthropic foundations that help communities by collecting, managing and distributing money to deserving

organizations, the Basin Wide Foundation helps by collecting, managing and distributing information about deserving non-

profit service organizations in the Morongo Basin. Typical of its activities are the Foundations Annual Non-Profit Directory, and

its Awards of Excellence and Forum Programs. This unique approach to servicing the community results in a form of

facilitation wherein the dissemination of such information enhances the kind of public knowledge and awareness that helps

bolster community support for these agencies.
