The Ahmanson Foundation focuses on enhancing the quality of life in Los Angeles County. It supports a broad range of initiatives, including cultural projects in arts and humanities, education across all levels, health care, and programs addressing homelessness and underserved populations, as well as various human services.
The grant program by The Ahmanson Foundation aims to fund organizations within Los Angeles County that are involved in cultural projects, educational initiatives from preschool to higher education, health care services, efforts to alleviate homelessness, support for underserved populations, and a variety of human services. The foundation's goal is to improve life quality in the community through these diverse supports.
To adequately address the diverse requirements of the Los Angeles community, the Foundation gives priority to applications that are for single occurrences or have a short-term duration. Preference will be given to organizations that apply infrequently rather than those that make regular or yearly requests. The main focus is on organizations that operate within and cater to the needs of Los Angeles County.
