MISSION STATEMENT: The Community Benefit Program recommends, promotes, coordinates projects, oversees funding and ensures timely completion of projects proposed by nonprofit and qualified organizations related to parks, recreation facilities, and roads and street lighting within FPUD’s service area. The program intends to benefit Fallbrook residents by using unrestricted public property tax revenue received by FPUD and allocated to the Community Benefit Program.

VISION STATEMENT: The Program identifies and solicits requests from FPUD’s service area nonprofit organizations to foster projects that enhance the quality of life for Fallbrook residents. The seven-member committee ensures that funded projects result from fair and equitable consideration of proposals sponsored by qualified organizations during the selection process.
