About Community Services Unlimited
Community Services Unlimited Inc’s recent giving shows a clear emphasis on equitable food-oriented development, with $125,000 grants in 2025 to Rocky Acres Community Farm, Institute for Washington's Future, Community Agroecology Networktierras Milperas, and Dream of Wild Health. The foundation also backed food-system launch work in California and beyond through 2024 Kickstarter grants to Planting Justice, Residents Association of Greater Englewood, Hmong American Farmers Association, Communities in Partnership, and La Semilla Food Center. Across these awards, the pattern is not limited to direct food access; it reaches community agriculture, food entrepreneurship, and projects that build local capacity around food. The grant list also includes repeated support for organizations such as Eastmont Community Center, The Heart of Ida, Hmong American Farmers Association, and Community Outreach Center, suggesting continued relationships rather than isolated awards. The foundation’s mission centers on communities facing inequalities and systemic barriers, and its recent grants reflect that focus in practical program support tied to food, education, and community-based initiatives.
What Community Services Unlimited Funds
Food security and healthy food access are central to the foundation’s active grantmaking. In 2025, it gave $100,000 to Hunger Action Los Angeles for a Kickstarter grant, and in 2024 it awarded $125,000 to La Semilla Food Center for the same grant type. Community food entrepreneurship is another visible area: Gu Grocery LLC received $100,000 in 2024, while Ras Karim Cuisine and Straight Up Fast Food each received $100,000 the same year. The foundation also supports community-based food systems work through organizations such as Venice Family Clinic, which received $100,000 in 2024, and Urban Mission Community Partners, which received $100,000 in 2024. These grants show attention to both access and the local organizations that help build food infrastructure and education.
