Humboldt Sponsors Announces 2021 Grant Recipients

This is a press release from Humboldt Sponsors:

Humboldt Sponsors, a local non-profit, charitable organization dedicated solely to raising funds to benefit Humboldt County youth, is pleased to announce its 2021 grant cycle recipients.

Each year in April, Humboldt Sponsors awards grant funds to local non-profit, youth-related programs and organizations through an annual application and selection process. This year, a total of $86,506 has been distributed among 44 individual grants, bringing the overall total of grant funding awarded since 1973 to $2,647,456.

These individual grants support many diverse youth activities and programs in Humboldt County, such as scholarships and camperships for recreational and cultural enrichment activities and youth leadership projects, as well as funding the purchase of learning and play materials for children and assisting youth-oriented programs that provide basic needs, according to Grants Co-Chairperson Amy Hunt.

With COVID restrictions still in place, Humboldt Sponsors was unable to hold its annual grants reception this month to honor the recipients and to present the grant awards in person. President Becky Giacomini stated, “Please join us in congratulating these deserving local nonprofits for everything they do throughout the year to enrich and support the lives of Humboldt County children.”

Humboldt Sponsors is an all-volunteer organization close to 50 active members and nearly 350 dedicated associate members. “We are able to raise most of the funds needed to support our many grant requests with the proceeds from our various fundraising events,” stated Grants Co-chairperson Kim Cobine. “These events include our virtual online auctions, direct mail outreach, and pre-COVID – our popular annual rummage sale and summer fundraiser events.”
The organization is currently the largest provider of non-governmental funds for youth in Humboldt County.

If you would like to donate to the HUGS Grant Fund directly, checks may be sent to Humboldt Sponsors, P.O. Box 444, Eureka, CA 95502. To learn more about Humboldt Sponsors and to find out how you can become a member, email [email protected], go to www.humboldtsponsors.org, or find the group on Facebook and Instagram.
