2016 Philanthropy 100: The Los Angeles Philanthropies You Should Know

Our 4th annual list of the 100 most impactful Los Angeles area philanthropies

In the past four years of researching and assembling this listing of nonprofits actively engaged in enriching society, we have learned volumes about what makes Los Angeles great while shining a light on the richness of giving and service that further strengthens the bonds of a community. While arts and culture commands a large share of foundation dollars in the entertainment capital of the world, a plethora of organizations direct their attention to education, community development, health, human services, and more. Our 2016 list features some familiar names and causes as well as a few that you may be inspired to look into to learn more. This year’s PHIL 100 features 40 organizations making their debut on our list. In addition, 16 of the 100 are featured elsewhere in the magazine. We invite you to explore, follow your inspiration, and be part of the change you wish to see in the world.
