Olivia Headley Foundation
This organization is a private foundation focused on supporting initiatives that aid homeless women. Its mission reflects a commitment to empowering vulnerable populations, particularly through funding programs that address homelessness and substance abuse treatment. The foundation primarily serves women facing these challenges, as evidenced by its grant to the Alcohol Center for Women. While it is based in California, its funding activities are specifically directed towards organizations that provide essential services for homeless women.

Ideal Applicant
A California-based service provider (especially in Los Angeles) delivering programs for homeless women or women in recovery from substance use, with local relationships or referrals to the foundation leadership.
Good Fit
- • Direct service programs for homeless women or women in substance-abuse recovery
- • Located in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California
- • Existing relationship, referral, or introduction to a director or known intermediary
- • Request size aligned with past modest awards (roughly $10K–$15K)
Geography
Observed giving is geographically narrow: the single documented grant went to a Los Angeles organization and filings list California as the foundation state; available history is limited to two years.
Recipient Variety
The documented recipient set is very small—only one distinct grantee appears in the observed years—so observed recipient variety is low, though the sample is limited.
New Applicants
The foundation explicitly indicates it funds only preselected applicants and there is no public application path or contact information; combined with the tiny observed grantee set, this behavior suggests low plausibility that an unfamiliar applicant could enter the portfolio.
