FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

💛 Is the Grants Challenge restricted to nonprofits?⁠

No! While the majority of our applications come from 501(c)(3) nonprofits, we also accept funding proposals from fiscally-sponsored, for-profit, and governmental organizations.⁠⁠

💛 How does LA2050 define “LA”?⁠
We define LA as all of Los Angeles County. Your submission may serve the broader county or zero in on a particular neighborhood, community, city, or region. It’s up to you!⁠

💛 What if our organization's work impacts more than one issue area?⁠
On the application, you will select a primary issue area from the 13 available for funding this year. Then, you will have the opportunity to indicate any secondary issue areas that your work impacts. Our evaluators will review your submission across all of the issue areas selected.

💛 What kinds of proposals is LA2050 looking for?
We're looking for innovative ideas and early-stage programs, projects, or initiatives. Your application should focus on work with potential to scale and transform LA, either in its initial years of implementation or undergoing significant evolution. We get especially excited about emerging and upstart organizations; more established organizations are also welcome to submit as long as the specific work described in the grant application is innovative or new.
