    About Little Tokyo Towers

    Little Tokyo Towers Inc directs the bulk of its resources to supporting the Little Tokyo neighborhood and local community philanthropy in Los Angeles, channeling large gifts into community foundations and its own Little Tokyo Towers Community Foundation. Their grants appear intended to build local capacity and long-term financial support for neighborhood nonprofits and services that serve residents of Little Tokyo (including likely seniors and cultural organizations).

    Focus Areas

    Giving Approach

    Very concentrated giving: only three grants totaling $12.15M, dominated by a single very large grant; funds flow mainly to community foundations and the foundation's own community foundation, indicating targeted, large-scale, likely multi-year or capital/endowment commitments rather than many small operational grants.
