Much like Coronado’s community grants program, the county of San Diego also allocates funding to organizations whose missions align with the agency’s goals. Local allocations are as follows:
Safe Harbor Coronado: $35,000
Safe Harbor, which promotes youth mental health, received a county grant. (It also received a grant from the City of Coronado for $125,000).
“Safe Harbor is instrumental in our mission to cultivate a community where every young individual can overcome life’s hurdles with resilience,” said Tara Lawson-Remer, who represents Coronado on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, in a statement. “They understand the importance of mental wellness and are committed to helping Coronado families navigate these challenges. I’m proud we could contribute to their vital mission with a County grant.”
Emerald Keepers: $27,500
This grant will allow the environmental stewardship nonprofit to expand its fleet of water skimmers, which remove plastic and other trash from local waters. (Emerald Keepers received $70,100 from the City of Coronado this year.)
Coronado School of the Arts Foundation (CoSA): $40,000
This grant will be used specifically to upgrade audio/visual equipment for the Coronado High School theater.
“Coronado School of the Arts serves as a beacon of artistic excellence for 200 scholar artists from our esteemed Coronado High School, offering invaluable exposure to music, dance, visual arts, and beyond,” said Lawson-Remer. “Supporting the Foundation with County grant dollars is not just an investment in these programs, it’s an investment in our children’s’ future and fostering a vibrant arts community here in Coronado.”
(CoSa received $7,223 from the city of Coronado this year.)
