Community Investment Grant Program

The Port of Los Angeles Community Investment Grant Program creates a funding opportunity for small to large community events, programs and projects that benefit the Port community and promote the goals of the Los Angeles Harbor Department. It is the Port's goal to partner with organizations that have similar interests and goals, creating mutually supportive relationships. Funds come from the Harbor Department’s annual budget – self-supported entirely from shipping and lease revenues rather than tax-payers. The overall program funds, as well as its component categories, vary each fiscal year. There is no guarantee that funds allocated in any one fiscal year will be the same as another – either for the overall program, component categories or successful applicants. Grant applicants must re-apply each fiscal year. The application period for Fiscal Year 2019-20 is now closed.

Program Overview

All Community Grants are made from the Harbor Department’s Harbor Revenue Fund. As such, grant proposals must be Tidelands Public Trust-compliant and clearly show a nexus and benefit between the proposal and the Harbor Department/Tidelands Public Trust.
