Our mission is to lead positive systemic change that strengthens Los Angeles communities. We envision a future where all Angelenos have the opportunity to contribute to the productivity, health and well-being of our region.

what we fund
We pursue systemic changes in four inter-related areas: education, health, housing and immigration.
Our competitive grants seek to strengthen the local nonprofit sector and create systemic change in major issues to improve the lives of residents throughout Los Angeles County.

Every year, we and our donors invest tens of millions in transforming Los Angeles, but real change takes more than money. Through partnerships and innovative approaches, we use our tools to maximize impact, empower communities and strengthen the nonprofit sector for generations to come.
