Each year, LA2050 gives $1 million to nonprofits and other social impact organizations making Los Angeles better through the LA2050 Grants Challenge. Angelenos determine the issue areas that will receive funding – from homelessness and income inequality to park access – through voting. Voting takes place on LA2050.org from April 6th to May 8th, and is open to all ages and available in 10 languages

This year, we're also launching a new pop-up voting experience that will bring voting booths to 10 iconic LA locations, and you're invited!
