Grant Program Closed

IVCSD is offering Pop-Up Halloween Programming Grants and we are looking forward to your submissions! 

This grant is designed for businesses and non-profit organizations that own or operate facilities/venues in Isla Vista to host Halloween pop-up events from October 28-31 2022. $10,000 in funds will be distributed on a first come first serve basis, and programs will be assessed on meeting the programming criteria below.  We have limited availability to use the Community Center for your event and can work with you to identify community spaces. 

Pop-up events funded by our grant program, as well as other high-impact events identified, will be featured in the District’s outreach campaign for Halloween. This will include a door hanger for every household and social media promotion.
