About

The California Community Foundation is a Los Angeles-based community foundation that connects charitable resources with efforts to improve the lives of residents throughout Los Angeles County. Founded in 1915, it has grown into a major philanthropic institution supporting local communities while helping individuals, families and organizations create charitable funds around the causes they care about.

Its grantmaking addresses issues including affordable housing, immigrant integration, education, health, economic security, racial equity and arts and culture. The foundation also provides philanthropic guidance and manages donor funds, enabling charitable giving to continue across generations. Through partnerships with nonprofits, civic leaders and community members, it works to expand opportunity and address persistent inequalities affecting Los Angeles communities.
