Foundation's Matching Community Contributions Initiative: 

• Thanks to $5,000 donations by each of four Initiative partners - P.G.& E., Old Custom House, Chevron and the Avila Beach Foundation - a $20,000 fund was established to  match dollar for dollar individual gifts between the amount of $50-$200 to Avila based organizations and projects. 

Avila Alerts Blog: 

• The "Alert" was established as a way to pass along timely information about upcoming roadwork, street closures, high-traffic events, and other activities or situations that could possibly be disruptive to the daily comings and goings of Avila residents.  Subscribers to Avila Alerts are notified by email of the aforementioned once we are informed by "reporters" from the various entities who oversee relevant projects.  Sign-up to become an Avila Alerts subscriber.

Town Hall Forum:

• Held Bi-Annually, this Forum informs residents about current events, operational or commercial development projects underway and upcoming in the future, and the related possible impacts of each on the Avila Beach Communities.
