Making This Possible

The LACHSA Foundation believes LACHSA is worth every investment we make. LACHSA’s impact is everywhere you turn – through the brilliance of its student artists, the creative innovation of its programs, and the global achievements of its alumni.
 
As a founding charitable partner for more than forty years, every school year the LACHSA Foundation is committed to the success of LACHSA, in partnership with the LA County Board of Supervisors and LA County Department of Education (LACOE), which governs LACHSA. The LACHSA Foundation offers many philanthropic opportunities to further our mission to raise critical funding for LACHSA and invest in its student artists. We invite everyone to give what they can or to make introductions to help LACHSA thrive. 

Thank You

Every donation, in-kind gift, volunteer hour or introduction helps the Foundation to fulfill its mission. Our giving portfolio has multiple strategies that fuel our mission to advance the extraordinary arts education at LACHSA and raise awareness about its impact and opportunity to student artists across LA County. The Foundation is grateful to all of our family of donors, including the generous donors below, who help further our legacy.
