Overview

The La Jolla Kiwanis Foundation Grant focuses on enhancing community welfare by supporting initiatives that benefit children and families in La Jolla and San Diego. Funded through events like the La Jolla Half Marathon, grants prioritize areas such as maternal and child health, education, and community services. The foundation encourages direct allocation of funds to charitable causes and emphasizes responsible spending without unnecessary expenses like trophies. This support reflects a commitment to improving lives and fostering a child-friendly community.

We raise money through our main fund-raising event the La Jolla Half Marathon, and we portion the proceeds through four major grant committees to give to community needs as identified by the committees’ charters.
