Things to look forward to in the coming month: Sunday, March 10th, Daylight Saving Time where clocks are set to “spring forward” 1 hour. Sunday, March 17th, St. Patrick’s Day, remember to wear green. Tuesday, March 19th, the first day of spring, and if you are a sports fan, the beginning of March Madness.
The Avila Beach Community Foundation is pleased to announce the availability of a new grant opportunity. Beginning March 1st, the foundation will be accepting applications from local organizations or individuals to apply for a single $8,500 Community Impact Grant. Proposals for this one-time grant should focus on a new, innovative project, program, event, or service to benefit the greater Avila Beach communities, with special consideration given to applicants who would use the $8,500 sum to leverage a matching contribution. Interested parties are required to complete and submit an application and cover letter no later than April 30, 2024. To download an application and for additional information, please visit our website: www.avilabeachfoundation.org.
This month, the foundation is spotlighting 2024 grant recipient the SLO Noor Foundation (SLONF). The SLO Noor Foundation (SLONF) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, volunteer-based, health and safety-net organization. In 2009, Dr. Ahmad Nooristani recognized the need to provide care to uninsured adults in SLO County. The first SLO Noor Medical Clinic opened in October 2011. The SLO Noor Foundation’s mission is to provide free medical, dental, and vision care to uninsured and underinsured adults in San Luis Obispo County and northern Santa Barbara County regardless of race, ethnicity, immigration status, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. SLONF works to mitigate the effect of the growing number of uninsured adults residing in our neighborhoods, and the increasing risk of poor health conditions impacted by the lack of insurance. SLONF is committed to helping ensure that all people across our communities feel valued and have equal access to resources, services, and opportunities.
In 2024, the Avila Beach Community Foundation is pleased to award funding to the SLO Noor Foundation to support greater access to free healthcare for the uninsured residents of Avila Beach by increasing the capacity and availability of clinical programs, generating public awareness about SLO Noor Health Clinics, and offsetting a portion of the direct program expenses in providing free healthcare.
Until next month, wishing all of you a wonderful March (Madness)!
