The La Jolla Community Foundation is Accepting Grant Applications in Arts & Science

The La Jolla Community Foundation (LJCF) (www.lajollacommunityfoundation.org) is proud to announce the release of its 2014-2015 Letter of Intent Guidelines. LJCF is in its first grant cycle and invites nonprofits serving La Jolla to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) to express interest in applying for a grant during the 2014-2015 grant cycle. The Foundation will be accepting LOI’s for projects that focus on arts and / or science. Priority consideration will be given to projects that combine both arts and science. This grant cycle is committed to the financial support of organizations, projects and programs dedicated to improving the lives of those who live, work or attend school within the geographic boundaries of 92037.

The Letter of Intent (LOI) is the first step in a two-step application process, which will facilitate the allocation of funding for La Jolla focused projects. A total of $20,000 in funding is available this year. The funding range is $5,000 - $20,000. LJCF will evaluate all LOI submittals and qualify those that meet the program and eligibility criteria. The deadline for submitting the LOI is Monday, June 23, 2014 at 5:00 p.m.  Organizations that are moved forward through the LOI process will be invited to submit a full application proposal by July 21, 2014.
