Sponsorships to 364 local nonprofit organizations have been awarded by the Port of Long Beach.
The sponsorships, announced in March, amounted to $1,174,900 representing the largest award and the highest number of recipients in the history of the Port of Long Beach Community Sponsorship program.
Recipients — among them was the Long Beach Municipal Band — are listed on the port’s website at polb.com
The program supports events and projects centered on the environment, education, social justice, the arts and historic preservation while also informing residents about port operations and initiatives.
“Partnering with our local nonprofit organizations and supporting community events remain some of our strongest commitments to our community,” said Port of Long Beach CEO Noel Hacegaba in a written statement.
The port received a record high of 394 applications in January for this round of sponsorships, 44% of which were first-time requests. The harbor commission has approved a $3 million sponsorship budget for fiscal year 2026 with applications accepted in January, May and September.
The next open application period for sponsorships will be May 1-29. For information, go to polb.com/sponsorships/.
