The Goldhirsh Foundation announces two opportunities:
2026 LA2050 Grants Challenge – Part 1 Open Now (Organizations)
Together with our funding partners, we are granting an anticipated $3 million to organizations across Los Angeles County, with individual awards of up to $75,000.
This year, the application process has two parts. Part 1: Organization Screening (January 26th to April 22nd) is a competitive first stage focused on learning about organizations and determining which applicants move forward. From March 18th to April 22nd, Angelenos will vote on the issues that matter most, which will determine the issue areas open for funding in Part 2.
Finally, organizations selected through Part 1 will then be invited to submit Part 2: Funding Proposal (April 29th to June 5th) with an idea for a specific program, project, or initiative aligned with the top-voted issue areas.
2026 LA2050 Youth Ambassador Program (Ages 14-24)
The LA2050 Youth Ambassador Program empowers young Angelenos, ages 14 to 24, to drive positive change in the Los Angeles region through civic engagement, leadership development, and to help shape which local issues receive funding through the annual LA2050 Grants Challenge. Prizes available for participants, up to $500!
