Behind every Heart of Los Angeles program, every coach, every teaching artist, and every dedicated staff member stands a community of donors who believe in the power of possibility.
The individuals, families, foundations and corporations listed below have invested in something larger than a single gift, they have invested in generations of young Angelenos who will carry forward the confidence, creativity, and skills they built at Heart of LA.
We are deeply grateful for all those who contributed to our mission from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026 and for your partnership. We are proud to recognize you here.
