Her community service contributions have been awarded the National Medal of Honor by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Inclusive Leadership in Action (ILIA) Award for Economy by RISE San Diego.
Lani received a Bachelor of Arts from San Diego State University and an Associate of Arts from The Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising. She was born and raised in San Diego.
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.
