Funders Unite to Support Los Angeles Arts Nonprofits
February 17, 2021
A group of funders led by the J. Paul Getty Trust have banded together to support small- and medium-sized arts organizations. Under the heading The LA Arts Recover Fund, a dozen initial funders have raised $38.5 million. The fund’s grants will provide a minimum of two years’ operating support to Los Angeles County arts organizations that had annual operating budgets of less than $10 million prior to March 2020.
The fund is administered by the California Community Foundation. In addition to financial resources, the fund will aid organizations’ efforts in gaining capacity-building support and technical assistance. The fund is open and the administrators hope to increase it to $50 million. As part of the fund, the Ford Foundation issued a challenge grant aimed at supporting Asian, Black, Indigenous and Latinx arts organizations.

The Community Foundation for Northeast Florida distributed $1.2 million in grants to 117 area nonprofits to help offset pandemic-related costs.
The one-time grants, which ranged from $500 to $50,000, helped cover purchases of personal protective equipment, plexiglass and similar materials, COVID-19 training and health testing of staff, items necessary for social distancing and sanitation and expenses incurred shifting to online services, according to the foundation. These nonprofit organizations, many with limited budgets before the pandemic, suddenly were faced with overwhelming, unplanned costs that were essential to continuing to serve their clients, said Kathleen Shaw, vice president of programs at the foundation. We saw them make the anguishing decisions to ensure a safe environment for staff and clients, and we know these grants will help ease some of the financial burden that the pandemic created.
