Carolyn Bick, Philanthropy Committee Chair:

Together with our members and supporters, the Point Loma Assembly continues to expand its philanthropic impact throughout the Peninsula community.  In the third year of our formal Grant Program, support from membership dues, fundraising efforts, donations, and rental revenues allowed us to increase grants awarded from 8 to 12 and expanded funding from $15,000 to $19,500.
