In 2015, we promised to grant $1 billion to Los Angeles County nonprofits by 2025. Making progress on our 10-year commitment, we and our donors have given more than $629 million to thousands of organizations and causes in Los Angeles County. Whether for housing or education or disaster relief, these gifts are building a better Los Angeles for all of us.

With the new challenges presented by the pandemic, it was essential for people to break down silos and work across issue areas and subject expertise. Dynamic teams were formed to shore up the strength for a united response. We are inspired by the following stories of individuals and groups who collaborated to address complex problems with innovative solutions.
