April 25, 2016 – San Diego, CA –La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF), an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation, today announced its annual call for nonprofit grant applications. This year, LJCF invites nonprofit organizations and agencies to submit project proposals that focus on La Jolla infrastructure enhancement and community beautification.
Since 2014, LJCF has granted over $61,000 to enhance and grow the La Jolla community through its competitive grant cycle. In addition, LJCF has invested over $500,000 to special projects, such as the Murals of La Jolla. The goal of the 2016 grant cycle is to grow the aesthetic character of La Jolla. Desirable projects will be sustainable as well as highly visible in the community.
“The La Jolla Community Foundation is focused on building civic engagement and pride through local philanthropy,” stated LJCF Grants Chair Susan McClellan. “We look forward to enriching the environmental, social and cultural experience of La Jolla through this year’s grant cycle.”
LJCF will distribute $40,000 in grants ranging from $5,000 to $20,000. Projects should be practical, achievable within a 12-month time frame, and adhere to the La Jolla Community Plan. Grant guidelines are available at sdfoundation.org/Grants.
