The Angeleno Project (Formerly Committee for Greater LA)
The Angeleno Project’s (formerly Committee for Greater LA) vision is to create new systems and opportunities where Angelenos can fulfill their fullest potential. In 2020, in response to the pandemic, the Committee for Greater LA brought a diverse group of Angelenos together around a shared vision that our response to this crisis could catalyze systemic change. Through the work of their Action Teams, the Committee produced eight reports examining disparities in Los Angeles and recommending bold and systemic solutions to address critical issues, such as homelessness, anti-Black racism, the digital divide, and equitable support of the nonprofit sector. To build upon this work, the Committee for Greater LA transitioned into a new structure to bring in new partners and access additional tools to advance our vision for a more equitable Los Angeles
Black Equity Collective
The Black Equity Collective (Collective) is a community-public-private partnership with Black equity as its central, unifying force. BEC’s focus is to strengthen the long-term capacity and infrastructure of Black-led and Black-empowering social justice organizations in Southern California (Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire). The Collective was born out of the Black Equity Initiative (BEI), an effort that began in 2017.

Center for Strategic Partnerships
The Center for Strategic Partnerships helps the County and philanthropy partner more effectively to transform systems, promote equity, and improve the lives of children and families. The Center does this by supporting cross-sector initiatives and fostering a culture of collaboration. The Center is a first-of-its-kind venture in Los Angeles County, with homes in both the Chief Executive Office and SoCal Grantmakers. It is funded by eleven County departments and more than 20 foundations.
Inland Empire Funders Alliance (IEFA)
The Inland Empire Funders Alliance is a collaborative network of organizations with significant formal grantmaking activities in the Inland Empire region of Riverside and San Bernardino Counties that have joined together to increase communication, coordination, and collaboration. Through information sharing, regional networking, and strategic partnership building, the IEFA is committed to partnering with the region’s 11,000 innovative, resourceful, mission-driven nonprofit organizations to help its 4.5 million people fulfill their extraordinary promise and potential. IEFA Members include foundations, corporate funders, and public agencies that, together, have a unique opportunity for alignment, leverage, and strengthening our collective impact.
Los Angeles Food Funders
Alongside nonprofit partners, the LA Food Funders collaborate through pooled and aligned funding opportunities to advance food justice and promote an equitable food system where healthy food is accessible and affordable in the region. The LA Food Funders is a membership-based network of grantmakers who have the capacity to leverage significant financial investments to help support and transform the Los Angeles County food system. The group convenes on a quarterly basis to learn from each other and the leaders of nonprofits working in the food sector, in order to gain a deeper understanding of our community’s needs and to inform where we direct our resources. The work of the LA Food Funders is supported through the annual contributions of its members.
Los Angeles County Veteran Peer Access Network
The Los Angeles County Veteran Peer Access Network (VPAN) provides a high-quality, coordinated network of care that is easily accessible for Los Angeles County servicemembers, veterans, and their families through an enduring, world-class VPAN. It is a long-term solution to improve and maximize client access to housing, wrap-around services (i.e., health, mental health, substance abuse support, education, training, employment, benefits, legal), and Veteran Service Organizations. VPAN envisions an LA County unified by shared intention and cross-sector collaboration that helps veterans and their families heal, grow, and flourish.
Nonprofit Sustainability Initiative (NSI)
The Nonprofit Sustainability Initiative (NSI) is an LA-based fund that invests in nonprofit resiliency during moments of organizational transformation, such as sustained collaboration or executive transition. NSI distributes targeted capacity-building funding to ensure that nonprofit leaders have access to the right tools, processes, and expertise to adapt during moments of transformative change, creating new opportunities for sustainable impact. Since its inception, NSI has received support from 24 different foundations and granted over $7 million to assist more than 350 nonprofits.
Village Fund
In the spirit of “it takes a village to raise a child,” the Village Fund partners with organizations, service providers, and networks that provide valuable support to Black birthing mothers and their families but are unlikely to receive County contracts directly. The LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investment, in its role as a Center for Strategic Partnerships liaison, is educating the philanthropic community on the root causes of birth disparities, organizing philanthropic investment to advance community-driven change, and amplifying the role of philanthropy as a critical thought partner in knitting together effective public-private-community partnerships.
