Ideal Applicant
Small-to-midsize California-based marine or environmental education programs (including school/classroom projects) seeking project-level grants in the low-to-mid five-figure range.
Good Fit
- • A project focused on marine science education or ocean stewardship.
- • Based in California (San Diego area in particular) or directly serving local California schools/communities.
- • Request size in the ~$12k–$15k range or similar project-level support.
- • Willingness to submit a post-grant report and follow local reporting expectations.
- • Capacity to engage directly with a small organization or board-level contacts.
Geography
All recorded grant dollars in the latest year went to organizations in a single state (California), so the observed footprint is geographically narrow.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the funder issued only two grants to two distinct recipients; the observed recipient set is small and concentrated in a single state, and multi-year patterns are limited.
New Applicants
Both 2024 recipients were new entrants, which shows the funder can fund unfamiliar organizations, but overall activity is tiny and no formal public application path was flagged in the signaling data, so openness cannot be confirmed as high.
