Community Engagement & Education

The Safe, Clean Water Program takes a collaborative approach to LA’s water needs.

It is important to the success of the program that the people of LA County understand how it works and are empowered to support its goals. We are continually adding new elements to our Community Engagement & Education work in order to better serve our LA community.

The application period for the Safe Clean Water Public Education and Community Engagement Grants Program is now closed! Thank you to all who expressed interest and submitted proposals.

While we are no longer accepting new proposals at this time, the LA County Flood Control District continues to collaborate with the Water Foundation to administer the program. Our focus remains on supporting education and community engagement efforts related to stormwater and urban runoff capture within the district.

The Water Foundation received proposals submitted during the rolling application period from September 24, 2024, to April 4, 2025. We have completed proposal evaluations and will be awarding grants in three rounds. For updates and information on funded proposals, please visit the Water Foundation’s website.

In support of the ongoing Safe, Clean Water Program Watershed Planning effort, the Community Strengths and Needs Assessment (CSNA) Survey is now live and ready to collect responses from communities served by the SCW Program as well as the CSNA Dashboard which displays survey response trends (see links to the left). The CSNA Survey will gather community perspectives to strengthen the achievement of SCW Program Goals and beyond. For additional details, see the CSNA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) document.
