Together, shaping the future of Los Angeles.

LA2050 is an initiative driving and tracking progress toward a shared vision for the future of Los Angeles.

We worked with the LA2050 community to develop five broad, aspirational goals to reach our shared vision.

Together, we can make LA the best place to:

Learn: Our region offers opportunities for lifelong learning, allowing all residents to contribute their skills, talents, and abilities to society.

Create: Our region empowers its residents to use their creativity by fostering entrepreneurship, cultural diversity, and inclusivity.

Play: Our region is a place where people of all ages have easy access to clean, safe, and sustainable public spaces.

Connect: Our region is a place where every resident has the opportunity and tools to engage and interact with other Angelenos, and is empowered to contribute meaningfully to civic life.

Live: Our region’s residents have the economic resources and cultural capital to lead active, healthy lives, and everyone benefits from a sustainable environment.

How we do it

LA2050 deploys financial, human, and social capital to build a better future--a future for Angelenos, shaped by Angelenos.

We accomplish this through research and reporting, grantmaking via the My LA2050 Grants Challenge, and tracking progress on the indicators and goals.

Reports: We conduct research and reporting to inform residents and leaders about the status of the region and the progress toward our goals.
