Celebrating a Legacy of Impact: The Fund for Change & Community Funding Board Return
At Liberty Hill, we believe true progress starts at the grassroots—so we’re making a bold new commitment to resourcing community power-building!
For the past 50 years, Liberty Hill has fueled grassroots change by trusting the expertise of frontline leaders to help guide funding decisions that create the biggest impact in Los Angeles.
Today, we celebrate this legacy of innovative, participatory grantmaking with the relaunch of the Fund for Change and Community Funding Board—lifting up movement builders and committing to the next 50 years of justice together!
Los Angeles is home to a powerful mix of long-standing anchor organizations and emerging grassroots groups. At Liberty Hill, we know that investing in these organizations through initiatives like the Fund for Change, means investing in innovation, trusted relationships, and cultural insight—the building blocks of lasting change.
Fund for Change at a Glance:
- The Fund for Change grant opportunity provides general operating support grants up to $50K for community organizing in Los Angeles County.
- Specialized and innovative capacity strengthening programs are provided to meet the direct needs of emerging organizations.
- The Community Funding Board participates in the participatory grantmaking process and helps shape final grant award decisions.
As a foundational component of the Fund for Change grantmaking program, the Community Funding Board (CFB) model ensures fairness, reciprocity, and collective decision making throughout the process. CFB members help guide grant-making decisions and provide important insights in identifying organizations that can make the greatest impact in their communities.
