The mission of the Los Cerritos Wetlands Fund is to support projects related to the Los Cerritos Wetlands that strive to:
- Conserve, manage, restore, and enhance wetland and upland habitat, and facilitate environmental planning, permitting and public access;
- Advance healthy communities, social equity and climate resiliency and adaptation; and
- Provide educational and research opportunities.
The Fund will pursue its mission by fundraising and dispersing those funds primarily through grants. Grants recipients will then effect the Fund’s mission through their sponsored work. The Fund does not expect to directly implement projects other than through holding workshops to inform the public regarding grant funding opportunities and fundraising-related programming. Grants are made available through an annual competitive grant cycle.
