The credit union will provide a variety of financial and in-kind resources to promote an economically vibrant community through grant writing , micro grants for San Diego Promise Zone partners , addressing access to post-secondary education and employment , and providing free financial workshops and webinars for residents , entrepreneurs , and youth . Funding will also support the capacity building of Promise Zone partners including $ 120,000 in grants being awarded this month to non-profits in the area , which is part of an initiative by Cal Coast to increase diversity , equity , and inclusion – as well as serving the underserved .
