Grants
The Foundation achieves its goal by awarding grants
to charities that directly benefit members of the
Hollywood Community. This process includes:
- Raising funds by staging events such as the
annual Women of Distinction Awards and the
Halloween Party.
- A review of each grant application by the
Foundation Board. This process also includes a
thorough research and a site visit by one board
member to ensure that the application meets all
eligibility requirements, and that the allocated
funds will be used accordingly.
- Notification to each applicant on the status
of its request. Organizations that are selected
to receive funding will be presented with a
check during one of the scheduled events of
Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. Those who do not
receive funding will be notified in writing of
the reason, and invited to apply again once they
meet eligibility requirements.

than in the previous year. The following is a list
