COMMUNITY GRANTS

Each year, the Rotary Club of Laguna Beach awards community grants to support local non-profit organizations in their work to enrich the community. These grants provide financial assistance to fund specific programs or projects. Proceeds from popular community events like the Laguna Beach Classic Car Show and Oktoberfest fund the grants, which are awarded based on financial need and the potential impact on Laguna Beach.

Supporting local non-profits is a core mission of the Rotary Club, and interested organizations are encouraged to apply when the application period opens in 2025.
