October 30, 2020 – San Diego, CA – Carlsbad Charitable Foundation (CCF), an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation, today announced a call for applications for its 2021-2022 grantmaking. In its 14th grant cycle, CCF will invest in programs which support COVID-19 recovery and relief efforts for Carlsbad residents.
CCF will prioritize applications that assist and support all aspects of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as food security, homelessness, education and childcare, to name a few examples. In addition, CCF will consider proposals from nonprofit organizations whose core mission is to serve the Carlsbad community that has been severely impacted as a result of COVID-19. Eligible nonprofits may submit a request for projects ranging from $10,000 to $50,000. Application guidelines are available here.
For program questions, please contact Estela Mitrani at estelam@sdfoundation.org. For more information about the online application, contact Kerri Favela at kerri@sdfoundation.org. The deadline to apply is December 7, 2020.
Since 2008, CCF has granted more than $900,000 to over 50 programs helping grow a more vibrant community so that families today, as well as the next generation of Carlsbad residents, have a place they are proud to call home.
The Regional Affiliate program, including the Carlsbad Charitable Foundation, was established by The San Diego Foundation to create a regional network of affiliate foundations by leveraging local leadership, building endowments, increasing impactful philanthropy, and promoting civic engagement. Affiliates reside in Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Escondido, La Jolla, Oceanside, Ramona, Rancho Bernardo, and 4S Ranch-Del Sur. The Regional Affiliate program has exceeded 1,000 members, established endowments of more than $5 million overall, and granted more than $6 million in total to nonprofit organizations throughout the region.
On August 9, 2022, we awarded $838,704 in Opening the Outdoors grants to 24 nonprofit organizations that offer equitable access to outdoor spaces in San Diego County.
“San Diego Foundation is proud to once again support its partners committed to increasing community-driven efforts to enhance accessible outdoor space, encourage youth to learn more through hands-on education and create the next generation of environmental stewards in the San Diego region,” said Christiana DeBenedict, SDF Director of Environment Initiatives.
This year’s grantees will help address these inequities and enhance access to the outdoors throughout San Diego County.
