History of the Sunland-Tujunga Shadow Hills Community Fund
On July 4, 2008 the entire community of Sunland Tujunga came together to celebrate the birth of America. From that great event a group of community organizations banded together to create the Verdugo Hills High School Community Grant Fund. The purpose of the fund is to assist sanctioned organizations at Verdugo Hills High School to raise the funds that are so necessary to the success of these clubs and programs. It is our hope that this effort will help the students, faculty, and leaders of VHHS to run great programs that will benefit all involved. We also hope that this example of people helping people within the community will leave a lasting lesson that can serve the community far into the future.
A community that stands together and works together will succeed and flourish -- together.
How Grant Opportunities Work
Any sanctioned organization, club, or team at Verdugo Hills High School may apply for matching grants up to $500. The Grant Fund Committee
will meet and vote on applications. Those that are approved will receive a check from the Grant Fund equal to the amount raised through the applying organization’s fund raising efforts—Up to $500. This will ensure that only those groups who participate actively in their own activities will benefit from the grants. We know that fundraising takes a lot of time and effort and that sometimes it is difficult to achieve those goals. This is where the VHHS Community Grant Fund can help.
