Long Beach Nonprofit Partnership Inc Dba the Nonprofit Partnership centers its grantmaking on nonprofit capacity building, with consulting, professional development, advocacy, and convening all showing up in the work it funds. The largest recent award in the data is a $781,049 Best Start Grant to Long Beach Forward in 2023, followed by similarly large Best Start awards in 2024 and 2025. That pattern points to sustained support for a defined set of community initiatives rather than isolated one-off gifts. The foundation’s recent grants also show recurring support for organizations tied to local family and youth programs. Providence Little Co Mary Fd in Torrance received Best Start funding in both 2024 and 2025, and Community Partners in Los Angeles appears in multiple years as well. Alongside those larger awards, the funder makes smaller project-level grants to organizations working on youth power, intergenerational programming, family resource center support, and infant supplies. The mix suggests a grantmaker that combines major anchor grants with targeted community investments across a local network of California nonprofits.
In early childhood and family-support work, the foundation backed Baby2baby with $50,647 in 2023 for LBRA infant supplies assistance, tying its grantmaking to material support for families with young children. Family resource center support also appears in the portfolio: Lb Community Table received $50,000 in 2024 for FRC funding. Youth development is another clear thread. California Families in Focus received $70,000 in 2024 for a CLB Youth Grant, while Our Generation Cares received $64,000 in 2024 for the same type of work and $50,000 in 2025 for Youth Power. The foundation also supported Mission Muy Thai with $42,700 in 2025 for Youth Power, showing continued emphasis on youth-focused programming. Intergenerational community programming appears through grants such as Success in Challenges Inc, Earthlodge Center for Transfo, Operation Jump Start, and Long Beach Bar Fdn, each funded in 2024 for CLB Youth Intergenerational Grant purposes.
Typical grants cluster in the project-grant range: the 25th percentile is $13,125, the median is $25,000, and the 75th percentile is $48,854. The data also shows a long upper tail, with several awards above $400,000. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Long Beach Forward, Providence Little Co Mary Fd, Community Partners, and MORE Mothers, which points to recurring support rather than purely one-time funding. The foundation is not a fund for individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its work is organized through nonprofit grantmaking aligned with consulting, training, advocacy, and partnerships.
