Oceanside Community Foundation Surpasses $1M in Grants at This Year'S Celebration
Foundation: San Diego Foundation
The San Diego area's Oceanside Community Foundation has given more than $1 million to more than 75 programs over the past 15 years in an effort to "promote awareness, remove stigma, and prevent unnecessary deaths in our community," board chairwoman Beverly Holtz says.
The latest round of grants, totaling $92,000, will go to five nonprofits that provide suicide prevention programs, including $25,000 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside for its Because You Matter Program, which will help build youths' self-esteem and confidence, the North Coast Current reports.
The Here Now program will provide comprehensive suicide and bullying prevention services to students in grades K-49, while the VIVA Community Foundation's Suicide Prevention Series will produce, air, and share three 60-minute programs to clearly define the risks and data concerning suicide in the Oceanside and greater North County community.
The Zero8Hundred veteran transition support program will provide support for transitioning service members as they re-enter civilian life, as well as improve wellness outcomes for veterans in San Diego County.
