LA2050 is an award winning initiative! 

Over 11 years of the LA2050 Grants Challenge, we have collected 3,985 ideas for a better Los Angeles, and they are all available on our Ideas Hub on our website. On the Ideas Hub, you can filter for organizations, ideas, or to see all of the winners throughout the years.

When browsing by organization, you can see all of the ideas the group has applied with over the years. Some organizations have only applied once, but many have applied multiple times with new and innovative ways to better Los Angeles County. You can even search by category to see organizations working on similar themes, such as housing & homelessness and environmental quality & sustainability.

Additionally, you can find helpful resources such as the organization's website, a link to its charity navigator page, and a way to donate directly to its cause.

This is a great way to learn about many of the incredible ways that our LA2050 community is working to make our world a better place.
