Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Unrestricted operating support for LA-area grassroots organizing groups
Black-led power building, equity collectives, and racial healing funds
Immigrant rights, legal defense, and day laborer organizing in Southern California
Pooled and collaborative funds housed at community foundations and intermediaries
Housing justice, community land trusts, and neighborhood development
Native and tribal-led organizing in California

Typical grant

The median grant is $7,500 and half of all grants fall between $1,000 and $100,000, but that low end reflects a long tail of small and matching gifts. The core program checks cluster tightly at $150,000 to $250,000, with $200,000 being the single most common amount for unrestricted operating support. Seven-figure grants go to capital campaigns and statewide pooled funds like the California Black Freedom Fund and the CEO Immigration Table. Repeat giving to the same organizations across years is common, and some grantees receive two awards in the same year for different purposes.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“UNRESTRICTED OPERATING SUPPORT”
“SUPPORT FOR THE ... POOLED FUND”
“BLACK JUSTICE AND HEALING”
“RAPID RESPONSE FUND”
“POWER FUND”

Positioning adjacent work

Ask for $200,000 in unrestricted operating support rather than a project budget; that is their default check.
Connect work to Black power building, immigrant rights, housing justice, or Native-led organizing in LA and the Inland Empire.
If unincorporated, use a fiscal sponsor; they routinely fund through Community Partners, Tides, and SEE.
Emphasize community organizing and base building over service delivery or research outputs.

Worth knowing: This is a Los Angeles County and Inland Empire funder above all, with Orange County, Long Beach, and Coachella Valley next; out of state grants almost always go to intermediaries running California funds. The portfolio has moved decisively toward unrestricted support for movement organizations and pooled equity funds, and repeat grantees plus funder collaboratives like Southern California Grantmakers absorb a large share, which means relationships and peer-funder introductions matter more than a strong proposal alone.
