Accountability

Meeting unmet needs in the Inland Empire.

Another Way’s purpose is to fund the unmet emergency needs of Inland   Regional Center consumers and their family members who meet its financial criteria and who are ineligible for assistance from the existing network of community resources. Another Way helps pay for rent, utilities, food, clothing, mobility equipment, medications, dental work, burials and other such necessities.

Founded in 1986, Another Way remains the only employee-sponsored program among the state's 21 Regional Centers. It is an innovative solution to meeting the needs of clients when Regional Center funding is restricted by State guidelines. With one FTE, Another Way is a volunteer-driven organization.

Another Way is a self-sustaining emergency fund that is maintained and administered by Inland Regional Center staff who donates their time and talent. Another Way is funded by donations received from payroll deductions from staff, an annual golf tournament, grants, corporate and individual donations. All activities of Another Way are subject to private and state audits.
