The mission of Kings Care Foundation is to support families in Los Angeles by dedicating financial and in-kind resources to services and programs.
Kings Care Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated large charitable grants to youth, health, and family-serving organizations in Southern California. The largest grant in the dataset is $320,000 to Ronald McDonald House Inland Empire in Loma Linda, followed by $292,440 to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in 2023 and $255,000 and $250,000 to Discovery Cube in Sylmar in 2024 and 2025. That pattern points to sustained support for institutions serving children and families rather than one-off event sponsorships alone. The foundation also backs community access and participation through grants such as $200,000 to YMCA in Los Angeles and $100,000 to The Play Equity Fund in Los Angeles. Its portfolio includes direct support for pediatric and family care, educational enrichment, and local community programs. In the same recent-grants list, Kings Care Foundation also appears with awards to organizations tied to neighborhood engagement, public safety, and awareness events, including Redondo Beach Police Foundation, Sandy Hook Promise, and Beachlife Festival. Across the dataset, the foundation’s grantmaking reads as local, recurring, and centered on services for families, youth, and community life.
Youth sports and play are a clear throughline in the foundation’s giving. It awarded $100,000 to The Play Equity Fund in Los Angeles in 2024 and another $100,000 in 2025, while also giving $50,000 to Playworks in Oakland in 2023 and $100,000 to Playworks Education Energized in San Francisco in 2025. Health and family support are another major area. Kings Care Foundation gave $320,000 to Ronald McDonald House Inland Empire in Loma Linda in 2025 and $292,440 to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in 2023, along with $150,000 to children hospitals of LA in 2024. The foundation also funds community engagement and local initiatives. Examples include $42,065 and $25,000 to Redondo Beach Police Foundation, $20,000 and $15,000 to Project Opportunity in Hawthorne, and $15,000 to Grades of Green Inc in El Segundo.
Typical grant sizes cluster around a median of $25,000, with a lower quartile of $8,434 and an upper quartile of $100,000. The recent record shows a mix of mid-sized awards and several six-figure grants, alongside smaller local gifts. The pattern is recurring rather than one-off. Ronald McDonald House Inland Empire, Discovery Cube, The Play Equity Fund, Redondo Beach Police Foundation, and Project Opportunity each appear in more than one year of the recent grants list.
