Generous Grants Given for the Advancement of Local Arts and Culture

The next time you hear someone say that San Diego is a very cool place for art, wellness, and medical research—tell them to thank in part the downtown-based Prebys Foundation.
The organization recently awarded $5.2 million in grants to 59 non-profits across San Diego County through an initiative called Healing Through the Arts and Nature. The grants range from $36,000 to $150,000 per recipient.
They include the Timken Museum of Art ($60,000) and the San Diego Natural History Museum ($150,000), both in Balboa Park; Space 4 Art in the East Village ($138,000); Fern Street Community Arts Inc. ($125,000) in South Park; and the San Diego Armed Services YMCA ($50,000).
