November 3, 2022 – San Diego, CA – The Oceanside Community Foundation (OCF), a regional affiliate of San Diego Foundation, today announced the availability of grant funding for programs that identify and address the behavioral health needs of Oceanside adults 50 years and older such as: safety, mobility, socialization, food insecurity, and mental and physical health.
“We want to work with local organizations supporting needs of Oceanside adults 50 and above to ensure that, as a community, we’re uplifting our older adults socially and emotionally,” said Beverly Holtz, OCF 2022-2023 board chair.
These projects should be culturally humble and sensitive, practical and achievable within a 12-month time frame and have prospects for long-term sustainability. Grants in the amounts of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000, $20,000 and $25,000 are encouraged. Proposals must be submitted online no later than 5 p.m., Nov. 30, 2022.
