The California Community Foundation aims to strengthen Los Angeles County by supporting nonprofit organizations, foundations, and government institutions. It focuses on promoting positive social change, enriching people’s lives, and offering support to vulnerable communities, including immigrants. Through its grantmaking, the foundation seeks to address key challenges such as health disparities, access to medical services, and advocacy for policy changes to benefit underrepresented populations.
The grant program supports work in three primary areas: improving immigrant health access, enhancing behavioral health, and strengthening health policy and advocacy. Specifically, it focuses on increasing the integration of comprehensive health services (medical, dental, vision, mental health, and substance use prevention, care, and treatment), fostering collaboration across sectors and regions within L.A. County to address health disparities influenced by factors like immigration status, and supporting advocacy efforts aimed at promoting universal access to health coverage and services.
