The
DEL MAR FOUNDATION
is a 501(c)(3) California
Nonprofit Public Benefit
Corporation dedicated
to promoting civic
pride and community
cohesiveness, acquiring
and preserving open
space, improving beaches
and parklands, raising
and granting funds,
and sponsoring diverse
cultural programs
and community events
in Del Mar.
The
Foundation has a limited
grant budget to support
organizations and
projects/activities
that further these
objectives.
The
Foundation is best
known for sponsoring
children's programs
and annual summer
concerts at Powerhouse
Park, for supporting
the City of Del Mar's
Junior Lifeguard
Program, for contributing
funds toward the
restoration
and
construction
of the Del Mar Library and the
Powerhouse Community Center, and
for helping preserve the lagoons
to the north and south of Del
Mar.
The
Foundation gives preference
to projects, activities,
and direct provision
of services to, for,
and within Del Mar
that fit within and
further its mission,
and to Del Mar organizations
that do not have ready
access to other sources
of funding. Priority
is given to not-for-profit
entities. The Foundation
is also willing to
support organizations
in other ways, such
as providing organizational
fundraising and marketing
expertise as well
as "seed" funding
for fundraising and
other on-going activities.
The
Foundation accepts
grant applications
three times a year:
February 1, June 1
and October 1. An
applicant may apply
as often as needed.
The Grant Application
Review Committee will
