ASLA San Diego Community Grant Purpose
In order for the profession of landscape architecture to make its full contribution to the San Diego Community, the accessibility and understanding of the profession must be made available to all community members. The Chapter’s grant is intended to educate and enhance the community on landscape architecture and/or environmental issues.
$5,000 Reimbursable Grant Award
Community groups are invited to apply for the Grant to make landscape improvements to their neighborhoods. The grant period begins December 1 in the application year. Funds are distributed quarterly to reimburse community groups for expenses and help them conclude their grant work by December 1 of the following year. The final reimbursement is made after the recipient sends an overview and photos of the project showing the work completed.
The following are examples of what the Grant could be used for:
* Landscape Amenities: Cost to purchase & install benches, plant materials, paving, shade structures, irrigation, signs, etc.
* Landscape Construction: The cost to construct landscape improvements.
* Landscape Maintenance: The cost to provide maintenance of existing landscape improvements (will be ranked lower unless significant changes are proposed)
