Workforce Development & Job Training
In its 8th grant cycle, The Chula Vista Charitable Foundation (CVCF) invites nonprofits serving Chula Vista to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to express interest in applying for a 2018 grant. CVCF will accept LOIs for projects that strengthen the Chula Vista community through workforce development and job training.
The LOI is the first step in a two-step application process that will facilitate the allocation of up to $55,000 in funding for Chula Vista-centered projects. CVCF will evaluate all LOI submissions and qualify those that meet the program and eligibility criteria. Organizations that are short-listed through the LOI process will be invited to submit a full application.
LOIs can be submitted by email to cvcfgrants@gmail.com.
LOI Guidelines
The deadline for LOI submission is Monday, August 28, 2017, at 5:00 p.m. (PST).
