For a better LA!
The LA2050 Grants Challenge is an open call for ideas to make Los Angeles County the best place to connect, create, learn, live, and play. Since 2013, we have launched 11 cycles of the Grants Challenge, giving more than $11 million to 155 local social impact organizations with the help of hundreds of thousands of people casting votes in support, and additional grants from funding partners
So, how did the 2024 Grants Challenge work? First, almost 15,000 Angelenos cast 105,000 votes for the issues that matter most to them.. Then, we opened applications to organizations with ideas to address the top-voted issues. Now, in collaboration with our funding partners, we're announcing our 60 winners.
