Civic Partnerships

Eli and Edythe Broad believed it was their responsibility to use their success and resources to help Los Angeles realize its full potential. At The Broad Foundation, we build on that commitment by investing in the civic infrastructure necessary for informing and shaping L.A.’s future.

Building Trust.
Connection. Agency.

A thriving Los Angeles depends on engaged residents motivated by information, equipped with tools and grounded in trust. We invest in organizations working to inform, activate and connect Angelenos, particularly in communities historically excluded from civic processes. 

Information for Action 

We support organizations and initiatives that increase Angelenos’ agency and access to factual information necessary for making smart choices and participating in LA’s culture and commerce.

Civic Action in Practice  

We focus on increasing opportunities for residents to volunteer, engage, vote and participate in shaping the City’s future.
