The Chula Vista Nature Center will make every effort to process your request in a timely manner. Please allow two-three weeks to evaluate your request. Evaluation will be made on a “first-come, first-serve” monthly basis. All organizations will be contacted regarding approval or denial of their request. A denial does not imply that the applicant’s program is not needed or worthy, but simply that it does not fall within our giving guidelines, priorities, or that funds are not currently available.
