California Community Foundation Competitive Grantmaking - Education

Los Angeles County’s future vitality and prosperity depend on a well-educated future workforce. Currently, students from low-income communities, students of color, English learners, students with disabilities and other underrepresented students lack access to quality pre-kindergarten learning experiences, highly qualified teachers and sufficient educational resources. The result is significant disparities in achievement among Los Angeles County’s student subgroups.
