Community Engagement & Education
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.
As part of its effort to gather and integrate community input, the Watershed Planning Initiative launched the Community Strengths and Needs Assessment (CSNA) Survey. The CSNA Survey gives residents the opportunity to share what matters most in their neighborhoods, outlining their communities’ strengths, key needs, and opportunities. Results are displayed in the interactive CSNA Dashboard, an online GIS-based tool that shows survey findings and tracks changes over time.
