Hello Avila Beach — summer has arrived, and our town is in full swing. From the lively streets to the bustling port, there’s a special energy in the air that reminds us how much we can accomplish when we work together.
Amid all the activity, the Avila Beach Community Foundation is thrilled to announce that the 2027 grant cycle is officially open. Local nonprofits and community groups are invited to submit their applications by September 9, 2026.
Every year, these grants support projects that grow out of teamwork — ideas shaped by neighbors, volunteers, and organizations who care deeply about our community. In a town as active and engaged as ours, these collaborations help keep Avila strong, welcoming, and full of possibility.
As you enjoy the sunshine and the joyful busyness of the season, we hope you have a fantastic summer and feel inspired to bring forward the projects that will make a difference in the year ahead.

Help Keep Avila Beach Clean!
There has been an increase in litter throughout our town with the recent influx of visitors. More trash receptacles have been installed, but it has been difficult for our service agencies to keep up with the sheer volume of garbage, mainly on the weekends.
Would you like to help keep Avila Beach clean by volunteering to pick up trash? Please contact us for supplies and more information.
