Our Vision
A good life for all in Los Angeles County.
Our Mission
We invest in, partner with, and amplify the power of community toward a good life.
We enable partnerships, investments and champion advocacy for reforms that multiply impact for communities. Recognizing that community members are their own best advocates, we connect those who need support with those committed to driving progress.
CCF began our second century in 2015 with an ambitious pledge: Grant $1 billion to L.A. County nonprofits over the next 10 years. We and our donors reached this goal early, granting enormous funds to thousands of organizations and causes in Los Angeles County. Whether for health or education, animal welfare or the arts, these gifts are improving the quality of life for our neighbors and creating a stronger future for our children.
Education allows the next generation to acquire the tools to become the artists, educators, entrepreneurs, scientists and community leaders of tomorrow. Unfortunately, too many are getting lost along the way.
When Angelenos get the care they need, our communities thrive and prosper. We believe that someone’s health shouldn’t be determined by their zip code or place of birth, and that all Angelenos should have access to quality physical and mental health care.
We have long been committed to protecting the rights and future of new Americans and helping to integrate immigrants into the civic fabric of Los Angeles, with more than $10 million granted to local nonprofits that serve L.A.’s vibrant immigrant communities.
In addressing Los Angeles’ homelessness crisis, there is no more effective tool than supportive housing. The combination of long-term affordable housing with critical services such as job training, case management and health care can drive systemic change.
