The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles (The Foundation) has awarded $3 million to 19 organizations as part of the second phase of its COVID-19 Response Grants initiative. In describing the grants to the Courier, Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer Marvin I. Schotland said, “These newly announced distributions–part of The Foundation’s comprehensive $8.3 million in COVID-19 Response Grants, the largest amount ever committed to a single issue by our institution–focus on sustaining local nonprofits impacted by the pandemic, providing day-school tuition assistance and summer camp scholarships to ensure meaningful Jewish experiences, and addressing critical needs in Israel. Foundation donors have contributed an additional $5.5 million to date via their own charitable funds established with us for pandemic relief, bringing the total committed to response efforts to nearly $14 million.”
