\nPresident & C.E.O.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>Dear Partners, Supporters, and Angelenos,<\/b><\/h6><\/div>In the face of an unexpected year, the Mayor\u2019s Fund for Los Angeles expanded programming and lifted its impact to help Angelenos and their families as they confront the COVID-19 crisis. In coordination with our partners at the City, we immediately launched new programs and innovative solutions to address some of our city\u2019s toughest challenges. Launched as an \u2018experiment\u2019 in 2014, this year saw the Mayor\u2019s Fund prove our value to the City and its residents in an unprecedented fashion.<\/p>\n
With donations from more than 10,000 compassionate individuals, families and organizations, the Mayor\u2019s Fund supported more than 100,000 Angelenos hardest-hit by the pandemic. We quadrupled our revenue and activated quickly to get resources into the hands of those who needed them most. At the same time, we continued to build on long-term initiatives such as LA College Promise Works, the Evolve Entertainment Fund and Hire LA’s Youth, which expand opportunity and level the playing field for all.<\/p>\n
Over its six years, the Mayor\u2019s Fund for Los Angeles has operated as an independent charitable organization uniquely positioned to create partnerships and fill gaps that improve the City\u2019s ability to serve its residents. We do not know what next year will bring, but we do know that it will be drastically different than this year. What is certain is that the Mayor’s Fund for Los Angeles will be needed, and it is ready.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
