Celebrating the end of Cohort 8

July 22, 2023 by

In June, the HRC and Civic Wellbeing Partners Celebrated the end of the Winter/Spring Season of Wellbeing Microgrants, inviting the Mayor of Santa Monica and other partners.

Many of these projects tapped into creating a stronger sense of unity through the arts and other activities to improve a range of: financial, environmental, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. This season saw an increase of interaction across intergenerational participants where younger generations could teach older generations how to do something new. Older generations were invited to reconnect with community post-pandemic and found new purpose and inspiration to plan for their future. At least 60% of the projects addressed equity through language access and ALL projects brought forth access to materials and resources needed to continue activities beyond the project’s timeline.

Are you interested in making an impact in your community? Stay tuned for applications to re-open on July 24th!
