For Immediate Release
Oct. 22, 2021 – San Diego, CA – Oceanside Community Foundation (OCF), an affiliate of The San Diego Foundation, today announced the availability of grant funding to enhance and support academic development programs for K-12 students in Oceanside.
In the 2022 – 2023 grant cycle, OCF invites local schools and organizations to submit project proposals that demonstrate a strong mission to support the academic, social development and enrichment of Oceanside students and provide the building blocks to recover from the pandemic.
“After a long year of online distance learning, we want to strengthen students’ academic development and help our communities recuperate from the COVID-19 crisis,” said OCF Board Chair Vince Alessi. “Our goal is to support organizations who are committed to providing our youth with academic resources and the social-emotional tools needed to thrive.”
These projects should be culturally humble and sensitive, practical and achievable within a 12-month time frame, and have prospects for long-term sustainability. The minimum funding range is $5,000 to a maximum of $25,000. Proposals must be submitted online no later than 5 p.m. on December 3, 2021.
The grant application can be accessed here.
In its 13 years of grantmaking, OCF has granted more than $700,000 to over 60 nonprofit programs that strengthen quality of life for all who live, work and enjoy Oceanside.

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.
