The Long Beach Community Foundation is pleased to offer the National Philanthropy Day Grant.
Donor Name: Long Beach Community Foundation
State: California
City: Long Beach
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 06/08/2023
Size of the Grant: $2,500 to $5,000
Details:
National Philanthropy Day is an initiative that honors charitable work across the country and is celebrated in a variety of ways. To honor this philanthropic event, LBCF has completed a beautification project for a local nonprofit property or building for the last 5 years. These events give LBCF staff and board members the opportunity to be out In the community, literally roll up their sleeves, and make a meaningful and personal impact with a Long Beach nonprofit.
The following types of projects will be considered:
- Physical improvement projects that can be completed with a budget under $5,000.
- Projects that provide volunteers with a one-day makeover project that has a significant “before and after” effect.
- Projects that will utilize or greatly benefit from volunteer manpower generated by many untrained volunteers.
- Projects that require a skilled labor force or a licensed contractor will be considered, but the ideal projects are largely cosmetic to utilize volunteers.
- External façade improvements will be given preference so that the entire community can appreciate and benefit from the make-over.
Funding Information
Grants will be awarded at approximately $2,500 to $5,000.
