SAN PEDRO— The Port of Los Angeles has officially launched the application process for its Fiscal Year 2024/25 Community Investment Grant Program. Since its inception in 2014, this initiative has contributed nearly $11 million in grants to local nonprofit organizations, supporting a variety of events, programs, and projects that enrich the Los Angeles Harbor community.
501(c)(3) organizations interested in applying can choose between two grant categories: large (exceeding $100,000) or general (under $100,000). Proposed programs and initiatives should align with port objectives, focusing on areas such as local maritime workforce development, environmental sustainability, public safety and security and enhancing the L.A. Waterfront.
A virtual informational workshop for potential applicants will be conducted via Zoom at 6 p.m. April 10. Those interested can access the workshop link.
The deadline for grant applications is 4 p.m. May 6. The application and detailed instructions on how to apply are accessible on the port’s website.
A committee comprising representatives from the port, city and local community will review all grant proposals. Funding for this grant initiative is derived from port revenues, ensuring that it remains a non-tax-supported program.
