The Anita Mann Kohl Charitable Foundation concentrates its support on performing arts organizations and a handful of health and community-focused nonprofits, primarily in Los Angeles and Nevada. Grants are targeted and substantial relative to the portfolio size, favoring performance companies, arts media, and local health/organ donation and disease-related causes. The foundation tends to fund mission-driven organizations with clear programmatic work rather than broad generalist charities.
Concentrated giving: relatively few, mid-to-large one-off grants ($10k–$15k) across 6 recipients; mixes arts-focused grants in Los Angeles with selective health and community grants in Nevada. No clear pattern of many repeat multi-year commitments in this dataset.
Notable grantees: Diavolo Dance Theatre, Television Academy Foundation, LA Dance Chronicle, Nevada Donor Network Foundation, ALS of Nevada
A $15,000 general-support grant to Diavolo Dance Theatre stands out in the Anita Mann Kohl Charitable Foundation’s recent giving and captures its core pattern: backing performing arts organizations with unrestricted funds. The foundation’s grants also reach arts journalism, dance companies, entertainment-industry education, and select health and advocacy nonprofits, with awards that are often meaningful relative to the organization’s operating scale. Recent recipients include Los Angeles Ballet, Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles, Dance and Dialogue, and the Television Academy Foundation. The grant record points to a funder that favors mission-driven nonprofits with clear programmatic work rather than broad generalist charities. Many awards are labeled general support, and the recipients cluster around contemporary dance, performance ensembles, and arts media, alongside a smaller set of health-related groups such as organ donation and disease advocacy organizations. Support is not limited to one program area, but the arts are the most visible throughline. The foundation’s recent activity also shows repeat support for some organizations across multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards. With annual grants of $216,597 and a small asset base on file, its giving is selective and concentrated.
Contemporary dance and performance are central to the foundation’s grantmaking. It gave $15,000 to Diavolo Dance Theatre for general support and $5,000 to Luminario Ballet of Los Angeles for general support. Arts journalism and dance media also appear in the record. The foundation awarded $10,000 to LA Dance Chronicle for general support, showing support for organizations that document and interpret the field. Entertainment-industry education is another recurring theme. In 2024, it gave $10,000 to the Television Academy Foundation for general support, and in 2025 it supported the Entertainment Community Fund with $7,500. The foundation also made health-related grants. Examples include $15,000 to ALS of Nevada for general support and $15,000 to Nevada Donor Network Foundation for general support, alongside smaller grants to organizations such as St. Baldrick’s Foundation and Human Rights Watch.
Typical grant size is modest but focused: the 25th percentile is $500, median grant size is $1,515, and the 75th percentile is $3,104. The recent record includes both smaller awards and several $10,000 to $15,000 grants, indicating a mix of broad support and larger anchor gifts. Most grants are labeled general support, which points to unrestricted or core funding rather than project-only awards. Recipients also appear across multiple years; for example, several organizations show up more than once in the recent grants list, suggesting continued relationships rather than one-off giving.
Grantmaking is concentrated in California, which accounts for 60% of grants. Los Angeles appears frequently, with recipients such as Diavolo Dance Theatre, Los Angeles Ballet, and Dance and Dialogue. Other California cities in the record include Long Beach, Santa Monica, North Hollywood, Monrovia, and Pacific Palisades. Nevada is the other major state in the list, with grants to Las Vegas organizations including ALS of Nevada, Forgotten Song Foundation, and Nevada Donor Network Foundation. Outside California and Nevada, the foundation also granted to nonprofits in New York City.
The foundation’s recent grants are centered on performing arts organizations, especially contemporary dance companies and performance ensembles. It also supports arts journalism, entertainment-industry education, and a smaller set of health and advocacy nonprofits tied to organ donation, transplant support, and disease-related causes.
