Ideal Applicant
Established arts, education, scientific research, or workforce organizations—especially those with a Los Angeles presence or clear alignment with the foundation’s flagship initiatives and capacity to manage large grants.
Good Fit
- • Work in the foundation’s stated priorities (skills, pathways, civic/community, arts, scientific research).
- • Organizational scale and capacity to manage multi-hundred-thousand to multi-million dollar awards.
- • Located in or serving Los Angeles, or a clear strategic link to the foundation’s flagship institutions.
- • Track record of measurable impact and partnerships with local public institutions.
- • Existing relationships or introductions to program staff or partners.
Geography
Giving is concentrated in California—about half of dollars in-state—but grants also flow to other states (eight states received funding in the latest year), indicating a regional-to-national footprint rather than purely local giving.
Recipient Variety
The latest year funded a large and diverse set of recipients (126 grants to 119 distinct organizations), including many smaller awards alongside very large institutional gifts, so the observable recipient set is broad for this foundation’s scale.
New Applicants
Behavior shows substantial new grantees (53 first-time recipients in the latest year), but the foundation’s public materials and application notes indicate grants are generally by pre-selection or invitation, so unfamiliar applicants can sometimes enter the portfolio but not via an open application process.
