Become a Member
When you become a member of the La Jolla Community Foundation, you begin to experience the power of pooled philanthropy put to work in your community.
Each member makes an annual contribution of $1000 or more. 75% of all membership dues go immediately into our annual grant making efforts, while the other 25% goes into a permanent endowment to sustain future efforts for the good of the La Jolla community.
All members get one vote each year for the local grant applications they deem most worthy and valuable to La Jolla.
Members will be listed in a variety of online and print publications, unless they choose to remain anonymous.
The Jolla Community Foundation also welcomes donations in amounts less than $1,000 so that donors can make a difference for La Jolla while learning more about the foundation for future potential membership. Donors at this level are non-voting members.
Support a Special Project
Murals of La Jolla
In addition to membership, you may choose to support one of the La Jolla Community Foundation’s existing special projects.
The Murals of La Jolla are the most visible of The La Jolla Community Foundation's arts and beautification projects. The purpose is twofold: to promote dialogue and connection among residents as well as to enhance the beauty and aesthetic character of the community. To date, five murals by contemporary artists – Roy McMakin, Kim MacConnell, Anya Gallaccio, John Baldessari and Ryan McGinness - have been installed on private buildings throughout the city, adding pops of color, beauty and fun to otherwise unused space. Keep an eye out for the sixth installment, coming soon from artist Ann Hamilton. More information is available at the Murals of La Jolla website.
Coastal Environmental Pedestals
The La Jolla Community Foundation has a vision of installing educational pedestals along the La Jolla shoreline to provide residents and visitors with information about the coast's environment, animals and history. Two pedestals have been unveiled, including one overlooking the Pacific at the Birch Aquarium's Tide Pool.
La Jolla Fire Pits
When the City of San Diego sought to reduce costs by eliminating the fire pits on La Jolla Shores, the La Jolla
Community Foundation granted the funds necessary for the preservation of these recreational assets.
