San Bernardino County, in partnership with the Inland Empire Community Foundation, has awarded $3.4 million to 216 nonprofits.

The grants ranged from $2,500 to $20,000.
Recipients included the Inland Conservatory for the Performing Arts Inc., the Inland Empire Central Office for Alcoholics Anonymous Inc, Technical Employment Training Inc. and the Greater Ontario Business Council. Each received $20,000.
