Description

Following general patterns in non-profit funding, environmental grants have a continuing history of being inaccessible to the groups that could benefit from them the most. While many environmental stewardship organizations (ESOs) are in need of funding for projects, Los Angeles lacks a clear network of environmental funders that is accessible to all potential actors. In this study, we will be researching existing funder coalitions as well as philanthropic trends in Los Angeles. The findings from this review will be used to compile a database of environmental grant sources in Los Angeles detailing funders as well as specific grant programs, and will finally lead to the creation of a preliminary funding network. This funding network will be accessible to the general public and will allow for thorough, yet efficient grant- seeking in hopes that stewardship organizations of all scales and focuses will feel more confident pursuing funding for environmental projects.
