About Partnership for Los Angeles Schools
A five-year student fellowship sits alongside large system-level investments in the Partnership for Los Angeles Schools’ recent grantmaking. The Lundquist Fellows program gives grades 8-12 scholars at Partnership secondary schools leadership development opportunities and an annual scholarship toward higher education, while the larger grant record shows the organization also financing school support, teacher development, and instructional tools across its network. In 2025, funding to Leading Educators reached $626,939 for effective implementation cohort participation, and The Achievement Network received $455,798 for the same purpose. Those awards point to a funder that works through cohort-based professional development and implementation support rather than only one-time project aid. The Partnership also uses grants to reinforce its own schools directly: a $840,991 award to Partnership Network High Schools covered subject credit recovery license fees, and $38,149 supported digital learning hardware, software, and platform fees for Partnership Network Elementary Schools. Across the record, the pattern is tightly tied to Los Angeles school improvement, with grants also touching college access, arts, and student supports.
What Partnership for Los Angeles Schools Funds
Teacher and leader development is a central theme. The Partnership gave $929,678 to Leading Educators in 2023 for effective implementation cohort participation funding, then renewed support in 2024 and 2025 with additional awards for the same work. Instructional infrastructure also shows up in grant purposes: Partnership Network High Schools received $840,991 for subject credit recovery license fees, and Partnership Network Elementary Schools received $38,149 for digital learning hardware, software, and platform fees. Student access beyond the classroom appears in college-going support, including $31,000 to Community Coalition for Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment for college access and equity and event funding. Arts education is present as well, with Lausd Local District Central receiving a grant that included $10,000 for an arts festival.
How Partnership for Los Angeles Schools Gives
Typical grants cluster tightly around smaller awards, with a p25 of $10,000, median of $10,000, and p75 of $31,000. The recent record also includes much larger capacity-building grants in the hundreds of thousands, showing a split between recurring implementation support and smaller project grants. Several grantees appear across multiple years, including Leading Educators, Achievement Network, Inner City Struggle, and Proyecto Pastoral, which suggests repeat funding relationships rather than one-off awards. The organization is a regular funder and gives locally, with most grants in California.
