About Remington Court Foundation
The Remington Court Foundation concentrates its philanthropy through a single major intermediary, directing large, unrestricted gifts to the California Community Foundation to support broad Los Angeles-area charitable activity. Its giving appears designed to leverage an established community foundation to fund diverse local needs rather than make direct, issue-specific grants. This suggests a preference for flexible, place-based philanthropy managed by a professional grantmaker.

About Remington Court Foundation
Remington Court Foundation’s clearest recent pattern is a series of multi-million-dollar gifts to the California Community Foundation, all tied to philanthropic activity in Los Angeles. The three largest grants on file are $5,090,000 in 2024, $4,610,000 in 2025, and $3,550,000 in 2023, each made to the same Los Angeles-based intermediary. That repeated recipient points to a grantmaking approach that favors large, flexible support through a community foundation rather than a broad set of direct awards. The foundation’s active programs show a local portfolio built around Los Angeles County needs, including housing and homelessness, civic engagement, education, health, immigration, and special initiatives. It also maintained the LA Arts Recovery Fund from 2021 to 2025, with operating support for small and mid-sized arts organizations and arts service organizations in Los Angeles County. Within that mix, housing-related work appears in both research-and-advocacy grants and direct support for supportive housing and affordable multifamily housing near transit. Across the data, the foundation’s giving is concentrated in California and anchored in Los Angeles-area infrastructure and community needs.
What Remington Court Foundation Funds
Housing and homelessness appear in several active programs. One track supports research and advocacy grants for policy and homelessness work in Los Angeles County, with an LOI process and year-round access. Another supports production and preservation of supportive housing for chronically homeless individuals and multifamily affordable housing near transit. The foundation also funds arts recovery through the LA Arts Recovery Fund, which ran from 2021 to 2025 and provided operating support to small and mid-sized arts organizations and arts service organizations in Los Angeles County. That program included awards ranging from $5,000 to $2,000,000. Beyond those areas, the foundation has named active programs for civic engagement, education, health, immigration, special initiatives, and public-private partnerships. All of them are tied to Los Angeles County or California, reinforcing a place-based grantmaking pattern.
How Remington Court Foundation Gives
The typical grant size is large: the 25th percentile is $3,935,000, the median is $4,320,000, and the 75th percentile is $4,705,000. The recent record also shows repeat grants to the same intermediary across 2023, 2024, and 2025, suggesting continuity rather than one-off dispersal. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its grantmaking appears to be run through a foundation structure with a professionalized, place-based approach.
