Our Priorities
CCF believes every Angeleno deserves the opportunity to live a good life. To build a strategy worthy of that belief, we started by listening — engaging more than 2,000 Angelenos across every corner of Los Angeles County to ask what they believe that good life looks like, and what stands in the way. Their answers shaped the five priority areas that now guide our work.
Meeting Basic Needs
When the basics — housing, health, essential services — are out of reach, everything else becomes harder. We work to change that because a region where everyone has a stable foundation is a region where everyone can thrive.
Building Economic Opportunity
Every Angeleno deserves a pathway to economic security. We work to create and widen those routes through expanded access to education, job training and investment in the local businesses and entrepreneurs driving community wealth.
Creating Safe, Resilient & Connected Communities
From clean air and healthy food to community-led public safety, we invest in what makes neighborhoods places where people can live well and look out for each other.
Ensuring Communities Have a Voice
More than just good intentions, change requires accountability. We support the civic engagement and trusted media sources that empower community members to be part of the decisions impacting their lives.
Supporting Healing & Renewal
Some of what Los Angeles has lost can be rebuilt. Some requires deeper healing. We invest in community programs and land restoration to help people recover and shape what comes next.
