We see our community as a place of opportunity where all Angelenos, inclusive of their backgrounds, have pathways and tools to grow and thrive.

Mission

We steadfastly steward our groundbreaking institutions in education, science and the arts, while elevating organizations, initiatives and leaders that boldly address the challenges of our time and expand opportunity for Los Angeles’ historically marginalized communities.

Values

Unyielding Commitment to the Public Good

We carry a deep sense of responsibility to help make the world a better place, approaching our work with a tenacious focus on results.

Bold Thinking

We need ambitious visions for the future to create lasting, transformative impact. We encourage an entrepreneurial and risk-taking spirit that sparks creative, innovative approaches to address our society’s most pressing problems.

Collective Action

We listen and learn from others to inform our work. We aim to demonstrate humility, openness and respect for the expertise of systems-impacted communities and other people who know more than we do. We firmly believe our organization must be embedded in a constellation of partners working together towards finding long-term solutions and creating a brighter future.

Integrity

We are responsible and honest stewards, calibrating resources, with candor, trust and accountability. 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice

We are fiercely committed to amplifying community-based voices and investing in efforts to create systemic change by sharing our power and influence. Within our organization, we strive to foster an inclusive and equitable culture that supports our team and reflects a rich diversity. 

Continuous Learning

We are devoted to asking hard questions and learning from our partners and the communities we serve. Each day we bring our best thinking, a deep curiosity, flexibility and tireless efforts to our work. We can always do better.
