Big Brothers Big Sisters of San Diego County, the San Diego Center for Children, the New Children's Museum, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside have each received a check for more than $16,000 from the Sundt Foundation, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
The nonprofits serve children with mental, emotional, and behavioral disorders.
The Center for Children received $4,900 to support its math program, which identifies students performing below grade level.
The New Children's Museum received $3,500 to provide a quieter, less chaotic museum experience for children and families with sensory differences.
The Boys and Girls Clubs of Oceanside received a $3,000 grant to support after-school programming that focuses on combatting post-pandemic academic needs.
"It is inspiring to see how all four nonprofits are making a difference in the community for the better," says Ryan Nessen, a member of the Sundt Foundation's San Diego region board.
