The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners July 25 approved 268 sponsorships totaling $926,150 to local nonprofit groups for upcoming programs. The Port of Long Beach’s community sponsorship program funds community events and activities that help inform residents about the port. The awards support a variety of community nonprofits centered on the environment, education, social justice, the arts and historic preservation.
This award is the third of three calls of the 2024 fiscal year; half of the applications were first-time requests. This latest round saw a record number of requests. To accommodate increased demand from community organizations, the Harbor Commission approved a significant increase in funds for the third call.
The next open application period for sponsorships will be Sept. 1-30; find out more at www.polb.com/sponsorships.
Among the events and programs sponsored in this week’s awards are Act Out Theatre Company’s Summer Youth Arts Workshops, Wonder Tech and Innovation Festival and Food Finders Thanksgiving Food Distribution.
