LAGUNA NIGUEL : $28,200 Available for Service, Arts Grants
More than $28,000 is available for area service organizations, cultural programs and the arts through city-sponsored grants that will be awarded by June 30.
Applications are now being accepted for $15,000 in community services grants and $13,200 offered for culture and the arts.
Candidates will be reviewed by a City Council subcommittee and then the full council. The grant requests will be judged on direct service and benefit to the greatest number of city residents, said Pamela Lawrence, assistant to the city manager.
Last year, $11,800 was awarded to six groups and programs, with each funding gift ranging from $700 to $4,000, city records show.
Among the organizations selected for the first-time city sponsorship were the Master Chorale of Orange County, the South Orange County Clinic, the Laguna Beach Community Clinic and a local stage production group.
All applications must be turned in at City Hall, 27801 La Paz Road, by 5 p.m. on Feb. 26.
For more information or an application, call (714) 362-4300.
