To satisfy the demand for community funding, the Harbor Commission approved a $222,150 increase to the $1 million sponsorship budget, bringing the new sponsorship budget total to $1,222,150 for the 2022 fiscal year. 

Among the events and programs sponsored, to help spread awareness about the port’s operations and initiatives, are Long Beach Community Table’s Sunday Homebound Food Distribution Program, Compound Long Beach’s Art for All Series and Operation Jump Start’s 2022 Scholars Day Celebration.
