Funder Recognition

First Place for Youth offers our thanks to the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles. The Foundation’s two-year, $70,000 grant supports of our Steps to Success education and employment program. Through this grant, we will be able to expand our reach in Los Angeles and more provide foster youth with critical support services that help them on the path to independence and success.

Established in 1954, the Foundation manages more than $1 billion of assets entrusted to it by over 1,300 families and partners with donors to shape meaningful philanthropic strategies, magnify the impact of giving, and build enduring charitable legacies. Over the past 25 years, The Foundation has distributed over $1 billion in grants to thousands of nonprofits across a diverse spectrum.
