Grant program for West Hollywood sports leagues and clubs
Summary
Queer sports clubs that use city name and nightlife but play outside city limits (Fairfax High fields, anyone?) asked for steady city funding instead of one-off requests. The council said yes in principle and told staff to design eligibility rules — and consider raising the pot from $15,000 to $30,000.

Volunteer-run clubs like the West Hollywood Soccer Club and Run Club, and the LGBTQ+ community they serve.
Some question whether subsidizing out-of-town tournament travel is an appropriate use of public funds.
