WE INVEST IN STRONG LEADERS AND SUPPORT ORGANIZATIONS THAT RANGE FROM SMALL GRASSROOTS EFFORTS TO MORE ESTABLISHED PROGRAMS. OUR GRANTEES ARE UNITED IN THEIR PASSION TO CREATE LONG-TERM POSITIVE CHANGE FOR INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES. WE FUND A MIX OF INNOVATIVE AND PROVEN MODELS, BUT ALL GRANTEES MUST DEMONSTRATE OR HAVE A PLAN TO DEMONSTRATE MEASURABLE OUTCOMES. WE FUND NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS IN LOS ANGELES + ORANGE COUNTY, CA; WASHINGTON, DC; AND WESTERN, MA FOCUSED ON ADVANCING EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES FOR DISADVANTAGED YOUTH THROUGH COLLEGE ACCESS & SUCCESS, CAREER PATHWAYS, AND FAMILY STRENGTHENING PROGRAMS. GRANTEES MUST BE 501(C)(3) TAX-EXEMPT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER IRC SEC 509(A)(1), 509(A)(2), OR (IN CERTAIN CASES) 509(A)(3).
