Recipients of the County's first Equity Impact Grants have completed the year-long program. Ten local community organizations were awarded a $100,000 grant and a year of coaching and resources to help the organizations expand the services they provide and further their impact in San Diego County. The program is a partnership between County of San Diego, Office of Equity & Racial Justice and The Nonprofit Institute at USD. A second group of grant recipients was announced in December and is in progress. Learn more about the EIG program at https://www.sandiegocounty.gov/content/sdc/cao/oerj/equity-impact-grant.html (fb)
