About Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Foundation
The Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Foundation’s recent giving is defined by a single large grant: $2,060,000 in 2024 to the City of Newport Beach for a building contribution. That grant sits alongside a clear mission centered on the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program, where the foundation works to reduce financial barriers so youth can participate and build ocean skills, physical fitness, and beach safety awareness. Its support is tightly tied to junior lifeguard training, ocean safety, and access for children and adolescents who may otherwise face cost barriers. The foundation’s program language shows a direct-service approach rather than broad institutional philanthropy. It funds participant-level access to a local recreational and safety program, with scholarship support specifically named as an active grant program. The stated beneficiary base includes Newport Beach youth and financially disadvantaged youth, which matches the foundation’s emphasis on barrier reduction and skills development. With grantmaking concentrated in one local community, the foundation’s identity is closely linked to youth recreation, aquatic safety, and the educational side of lifesaving instruction.
What Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Foundation Funds
A core theme in the foundation’s giving is access to the Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program. The active NBJG Scholarship Program provides financial aid for participants, tying grant support directly to youth recreation, aquatic safety, and program access. Ocean safety and beach lifesaving education are another clear focus. The foundation’s summary emphasizes helping youth build ocean skills and beach safety awareness, showing that its support is not limited to recreation alone. Youth physical fitness also appears in the mission statement, alongside swimming and water-skill development. The foundation’s beneficiary profile points to children and adolescents, including financially disadvantaged youth, which fits a scholarship-based model aimed at participation and skill-building rather than general operating support.
How Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Foundation Gives
The foundation gives at a single observed grant size in the available data: p25, median, and p75 are all $2,060,000. That indicates one recent grant at that amount rather than a spread of smaller awards. The 2024 recipient appears in the recent-grants record, while the active program listing shows a scholarship program that accepts unsolicited applications. The structure is grant-based direct support for a local youth program, with no indication of program-related investments or individual funding. The pattern is local and concentrated in California.
