Apply for a Grant

The Los Angeles Giving Circle nurtures connections with our grantees that go beyond financial support during the granting period, so that we can provide help whenever and however it is needed.

Our Grantee Selection Process

Below is brief overview of how we determine which nonprofits we provide grants to and what amount. For further details, please read more in our FAQ’s below.


Check Grantee Eligibility

Our grants go to nonprofits that help self-identified women and girls from under-served communities in Los Angeles achieve self-sufficient sustainable lives. To apply for a grant, please contact us so that we can determine if your nonprofit is eligible.

RFP and Proposal Review

Organizations that pre-qualify and are judged competitive will be sent a request for proposal (RFP). The RFP is by invitation only. After reviewing the proposals, our members will decide which applicants are selected for Site Visits.

Conduct Site Visits

During Site Visits, a small group of LAGC members will meet with prospective grantees (leadership and often some of the women/girls served) to tour grantee facilities and learn more about the requested grant. Based on site visit reports, finalists will be selected.

 
 

Final Selection

Following presentations to the full membership by finalist organizations’ Executive Directors, LAGC members vote to select the grantees who will be awarded LAGC funds

 
 
 

“The LA Giving Circle’s relationship with CodeTalk goes deep. The sustained and meaningful support has left an indelible mark on CodeTalk. The LA Giving Circle’s support came before we could prove it would work.

That faith in the work that CodeTalk was doing enabled us to realize extraordinary potential, going beyond typical results for job training programs and changing lives in the process.”

Sharon Plunkett, Director of Social Innovation, St. Joseph Center
