About Liberty Hill Foundation

Liberty Hill Foundation uses participatory grantmaking and rapid-response funding to back organizing in Los Angeles County. Recent grants show a strong emphasis on housing justice, with large awards to groups working on tenant outreach, education, navigation, and community land trusts. The foundation also funds youth development and alternatives to youth incarceration through pooled funds and partnership grants, alongside environmental justice work tied to clean energy and transportation education. Its recent records include substantial support for housing organizations such as La Family Housing Corporation in North Hollywood and Strategic Actions for a Just Economy in Los Angeles. The foundation also channels money into community-led power-building, including general operating support for organizations such as Liberty Community Land Trust and other members of the Los Angeles Community Land Trust Coalition. In youth-focused work, it has supported multi-year initiatives aimed at expanding opportunities for low-income youth of color and reducing youth arrests. Across these areas, the pattern is local, policy-aware, and rooted in community organizations rather than individual giving.

What Liberty Hill Foundation Funds

Housing justice is a major throughline in the recent grant list. Liberty Hill Foundation funded Cangress for Stay Housed LA tenant outreach, education, and navigation, and also supported the Los Angeles Center for Community Law and Action for the same effort. The foundation’s housing work extends beyond eviction prevention to community ownership, including grants to El Sereno Land Trust for strengthening and scaling community ownership of land and housing strategies in Los Angeles County. Environmental justice also appears in targeted grants. In 2024, East Yard Communities for received support connected to public funding access for EJ partner organizations and membership-building work, while Redeemer Community Partnership received funding for household incentives and clean energy and transportation education in South LA and nearby disadvantaged communities. Workforce-centered organizing shows up too: Korean Immigrant Workers received grants tied to public health councils in garment, grocery retail, and restaurant sectors, and Filipino Migrant Center received similar support for warehousing and restaurant workers.
