Parkview Legacy Foundation

What Parkview Legacy Foundation does

Parkview Legacy Foundation is an independent nonprofit public charity headquartered in Riverside, California, created in July 2019 following the sale of Parkview Community Hospital Medical Center to AHMC Healthcare. Under California Attorney General oversight, the foundation received over $30 million in hospital-sale proceeds plus a $10 million, 10-year pledge from AHMC, and was rebranded from the legacy Parkview Community Hospital Foundation (originally established 1973) into a grantmaking entity with a social-determinants-of-health mission. The foundation serves residents within defined zip codes of the Inland Empire / Greater Riverside region across four focus areas: housing stability, social mobility, whole health accessibility, and integrated solutions.

The foundation's core offering is the Impact Grants Program, structured in three tiers — Emergent Needs (under $20,000), Core Operations and Capacity (around $50,000), and Collective Impact (around $100,000) — distributed to qualifying 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Beyond grantmaking, the foundation convenes sector leaders through the IE Together Monthly Forum (co-facilitated with Inland Empire Community Foundation, Healthy Valley Foundation, UCR Center for Community Solutions, and Inland Empire Funders Alliance), operates the Poverty Abolitionist Coalition, and participates in the IE Vital Conditions Network, a regional network-of-networks organized around seven vital conditions for health and well-being. The 2026 grant cycle named awardees include Autism Society Inland Empire, Inland SoCal Housing Collective, Inland Empire Community Collaborative, Growing Inland Achievement, Family Service Association, Inland County Legal Services, TruEvolution, Youth Mentoring Action Network, Inland Equity Community Land Trust, and El Sol Neighborhood Educational Center.

The foundation is led by President and CEO Damien O'Farrell (former CEO of Path of Life Ministries, Riverside's largest homeless shelter provider) with 11-50 total staff, including External Affairs Manager Shari Chun and Administrative Coordinator Isis Rodriguez. Governance sits with an independent board chaired by Antonio Mejico Jr., Ed.D and including representatives from banking (Bank of America), healthcare (Provident Healthcare Partners), public health (Riverside County Public Health), and civic sectors. The foundation operates no technology platform; its infrastructure is a Wix-based website, social media presence on Facebook/Instagram/LinkedIn, and a Smapply-based grant portal for application processing. Its go-to-market is community-led and relationship-driven rather than commercial.
