Center for Strategic Partnerships
The Center for Strategic Partnerships helps philanthropy and LA County government partner to transform systems, promote equity, and improve the lives of children and families. Supporting cross-sector initiatives and fostering a culture of collaboration, the Center is a first-of-its kind venture in LA County, with homes in both the County’s Chief Executive Office and Southern California Grantmakers. Today, it is funded by eight County departments and more than 20 foundation partners.
Established as a pilot by the LA County Board of Supervisors following the tragic death of a child, the Center soon garnered leadership investments and thought partnership from Parsons, and ten other founding partners, including Ahmanson, Annenberg, Ballmer, Blue Shield of California, Bohnett, California Community, California Endowment, Hilton, Pritzker, and Weingart foundations. In 2018, the LA County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to establish a permanent home for the Center within the County’s Chief Executive Office (the CEO’s Office). Learn more.
