LOS ANGELES – December 15, 2015 – The California Community Foundation (CCF) has awarded $7,845,063 through 67 grants to Los Angeles County organizations working to address the needs of our region.
Grants this quarter reflect the foundation’s diverse priority areas in the arts, education, housing and economic opportunity, nonprofit sustainability, smart growth and youth empowerment, with a majority of grants this quarter focused on health and immigrant integration. $1.8 million in grants for immigrant integration will specifically support the implementation of citizenship, DACA and the AB60/Drivers License program in Los Angeles County as part CCF’s unprecedented partnership with nonprofits, media outlets, government agencies and the Juntos Podemos Foundation.
CCF supports this critical work in the community through funds entrusted to the foundation by donors throughout its 100-year history, including through the Centinela Valley Medical and Community Funds and the Los Angeles Scholars Investment Fund (LASIF). Part high-performing mutual fund, part innovation incubator, LASIF is a partnership with the College Futures Foundation that is getting low-income L.A. County students to and through college.
“We are proud to partner with thousands of donors and organizations dedicated to strengthening Los Angeles County together,” said CCF President and CEO Antonia Hernández. “As we continue our 100th year of service, we are encouraged by the energy and enthusiasm for positive change in Los Angeles.”
The California Community Foundation is committed to improving the quality of life for all Los Angeles County residents by addressing the root causes of the county’s most urgent problems. The foundation has served as a public, charitable organization since 1915, empowering donors to pursue their own personal passions and to collaborate with us in transforming Los Angeles County. CCF stewards $1.5 billion in assets and manages nearly 1,600 charitable foundations, funds and legacies.
