Major Activities

Activity 2

Civic Engagement: CCF understands that grant dollars alone are not enough to address complex regional issues. CCF has therefore taken greater steps to form and support partnerships that motivate and empower diverse groups of local residents to participate in the civic life of their communities. Initiatives in 2011-2012 included: - Immigrant Integration Initiative: A research-based, multi-year effort guided by a countywide council of community leaders to support civic engagement, leadership development and organizational capacity building in immigrant communities of Greater Los Angeles. - Impound Alert Community Task Force (impACT): A partnership of CCF with the ACLU of Southern California and the Advancement Project with funding from the James L. Knight Foundation to address unfair harassment and racial profiling in automobile impoundments. - Los Angeles Citizenship Collaborative: A collaborative effort of more than 14 organizations and institutions to encourage and assist eligible Legal Permanent Residents to become U.S. citizens. - Los Angeles Preschool Advocacy Initiative: A multi-year effort of CCF and The David and Lucille Packard Foundation to improve access to high quality preschool education for families in historically underserved communities. - One Los Angeles, One Nation: A research-based initiative funded by CCF and the One Nation Foundation working with American Muslim leaders and organizations to increase the engagement of their constituents in the civic life of Los Angeles. - Southeast Los Angeles Civic Leadership Initiative: An effort to increase transparency and community participation in local government using leadership training, networking and collaboration on essential policy issues in southeastern Los Angeles County.

Activity 3

Donor Service Funds: CCF manages more than 1,500 charitable funds entrusted to it by generations of individuals, families, organizations and companies. In 2011-2012, CCF distributed $85 million in grants from Donor Serviced Funds to nonprofit organizations in Greater Los Angeles and elsewhere. Of the $85 million disbursed, $1.7 million were scholarships from CCF's committee advised scholarships funds to educational institutions. CCF donors also have opportunities throughout the year to align their charitable giving with grants and other disbursements of the community foundation, often through special funds. For example: - Pass It Along Fund: The community foundation and donors contributed to the Pass It Along Fund, from which $600,000 was granted through a network of partnering nonprofits to individuals in Greater Los Angeles facing extreme hardship and critical needs. Beneficiaries of this fund are asked to repay a one-time grant with two acts of kindness to others. - Summer Youth Fund: $150,000 from donors and the community foundation were contributed to the Summer Youth Fund and subsequently granted to the YMCA of Metropolitan LA and the City of L.A.'s Summer Night Lights, so that thousands of low-income and at-risk youth and their families could enjoy summer camp, organized sports and other recreational, fitness and educational activities.
