Local Organizations Granted

Laguna residents Laura Tarbox and Sam Dawson, among the Impact Giving members awarding grants earlier this month.

Impact Giving, an Orange County women’s collective giving organization, distributed six checks totaling $130,000 at its third annual grant awards event last week.

Recipients included three local and three international nonprofit organizations working to solve social problems. The three local organizations granted:

• Just In Time – $30,000 to provide a safety net of life skills education and emergency resources for 60 young adults who have aged out of the San Diego County foster care system.

 • Families Forward – $30,000  to help families overcome homelessness and attain long-term self-sufficiency by providing housing, financial education and case management to at-risk families in Orange County.

• OC Child Abuse Prevention – $10,000 to work with 70 at-risk Orange County families by focusing on positive parenting practices in an effort to decrease child abuse and domestic violence.
