Where the money goes
- Biomedical and genomic research at the Broad Institute
- Contemporary art collection, museum operations, free admission in LA
- Career pathways to family wage-earning jobs in Los Angeles
- Skills and out-of-school programs for LA young people
- Civic, community, and local journalism initiatives in LA
Typical grant
The median grant is $100,000 and the middle half runs from about $7,500 to $300,000, so most of the portfolio is modest program support. The enormous checks go to Broad-affiliated institutions: $50 million to the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, $27 million to the Broad Art Foundation, and roughly $27 million across three grants to The Broad museum, plus a $16 million endowment for the Broad Center at Yale School of Management. Between those poles sit a handful of $500,000 to $2.3 million investments in LA workforce and youth intermediaries, and recipients like Foundation for California Community Colleges and Community Partners show up in more than one theme, suggesting sustained relationships.
Their words
Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.
- “INVESTMENT TO CREATE PATHWAYS TO FAMILY WAGE-EARNING JOBS IN LOS ANGELES”
- “INVESTMENT TO EQUIP YOUNG PEOPLE WITH SKILLS, TRAINING, AND EXPERIENCES TO THRIVE PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY”
- “PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS, CIVIC OR COMMUNITY-BASED CHARITABLE INITIATIVES”
- “INVESTMENT TO INCREASE ACCESS TO THE VISUAL, PERFORMING, AND LITERARY ARTS”
- “TO ADVANCE TREATMENTS AND CURES FOR DISEASE”
Positioning adjacent work
- Frame work as an "investment" with defined outcomes, not a research grant or general operating request.
- Tie applied research to Pathways or Skills: LA job placement, community college transitions, or youth STEM training.
- Ask $150,000 to $500,000. Above $1 million goes to established LA intermediaries with track records.
- Name Los Angeles County explicitly. Statewide or national framing only works with a demonstrated LA benefit.
Worth knowing: Well over half the dollars flow to Broad-named entities, the Broad Institute, the Broad Art Foundation, The Broad museum, and the new Broad Center at Yale, so the discretionary pool is far smaller than the $394 million total suggests. Of 205 recipients, 304 grants went to California organizations, overwhelmingly Los Angeles, and the outside-CA grants cluster in DC and NY policy shops that serve LA-focused strategies.
