Our Supporters
LA’s BEST gets significant backing from government funders, but every
year we must secure millions of dollars in private donations to sustain
our operations because government can’t do it alone. The cash and in-kind contributions we receive from individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners are laying the foundation for a brighter future for our city’s children and communities most in need.
