Santa Monica Nonprofits and Charities

CCF is an amazing organization. We learned about the work they were doing because our daughter was a volunteer. Very impressive organization and commitment to truly making a difference.

As a volunteer command pilot I really appreciate how well Angel Flight West operates. They make it super easy for our patients, ground crews and flight crews to schedule much needed flights. We really have a well oiled machine! That removed a massive headache and allows us to concentrate on providing excellent care for our patients in helping them get to their medical treatments. I have never volunteered for a better organization!

the team is organized and provide practical life skills workshops to orphanage teens of the Ternopil region, Ukraine outside the institutions.

I have collaborated with WISE & Healthy Aging in their efforts to serve the senior community for many years. The ingenuity and effectiveness of their programs truly put this organization in a league of their own. In interactions with the staff at WISE & Healthy Aging I am often struck by the sincerity and dedication with which they carry out their incredible work. This is not just a job for this team, they are undoubtedly passionate about what they do.

I became aware of Creative Steps by introduction by a friend as a request for a donation. As a business owner in the Conejo Valley I'm approached by may charities, all with worthy causes. But Creative Steps really hit the mark for me. <br>An amazing group of parents working tirelessly to help their children manuvere through a difficult situation in our society. <br>The dedication of this organization is unsurpassed.

I have been part of Present Now for seven months. What they do for so many children is amazing and inspiring! Every time I volunteer, I leave with a smile on my face and a warm heart, knowing that we are making a difference. Marlena and Lilian create such a loving, giving and joyful atmosphere. I also enjoy the snacks, the smiles on everyones face and always feel safe. As someone who has had some childhood trauma, I'm very happy to be part of this great family . Giving is such a gift and so is Present Now, Namaste !

With great honor and gratitude I thank Upward Bound House for their tremendous support and guidance. They accepted us as we are , made us feel complete. Gave my husband and I a reason to fight our battle against homelessness. Ms. Paula you are truly God's Angel sent from heaven. Your devotion for what you do for us families is above and beyond this world. Without you we wouldn't have the services we are receiving now. Thank you for keeping up to your word. God bless this organization to many more success and blessings.

Insight Seminars is hands-down one of the most transformative nonprofit organizations I’ve ever encountered. Their heart-centered approach to personal development creates a safe, welcoming space for people of all ages to discover who they are, build real confidence, and connect in meaningful ways. The community is incredibly supportive, the facilitators are inspiring, and the tools you walk away with truly stay with you for life.<br><br>One of the things that sets Insight apart is their unwavering commitment to accessibility—money is never a barrier to participation. They offer generous tuition assistance and go out of their way to make sure anyone who wants to take the training can. It’s truly unbelievable and speaks volumes about their mission. I can’t think of a better nonprofit to donate to. Supporting Insight is supporting real change, growth, and heart in the world.

This is a horrible place filled with horrible people who don't do anything to help those who are being victimized by other residents. For some reason they are preoccupied with the mothers attempting to fit into low class cliques than they are in ensuring that the environment is safe for those who just want a place to stay and focus on their future, their health, their goals, and their child. Ranting loonies who scream at the wind about events that never happened, and devious, I repentant narcissists who verbally and physically assaulted others are capitulated to while those who are just interested in keeping their head down and prepping for the future are treated like the problem. The case manager is phony, and will smile in your face and then laugh with the childish residents about you right in front of you. Truly despicable and unprofessional behavior.<br><br>Additionally even though they purport to be a Christian organization, out and proud self titled witches who do blood sacrifices are not only allowed to move in, but to rant, rave, and so weird demonic rituals without any pushback from staff. Even more, they have a strange preoccupation with trying to get you to eat food prepared by others and even total strangers you have never met, and will accuse you of not trying to fit in to the "community" if you don't. I ate volunteer food once and found copious amounts of hair in it. The night I left, they told me not to cook my meal for "volunteers" would be providing it. There is a lot of really unsavory things happening at Harvest Home and I would recommend any pregnant woman run for the hills from this place. 0 Stars.

17 years ago I participated in a program for working single mothers in college. The One Voice provided not only financial support, but emotional and mental support. They embraced my ideas of what was important to me. I was empowered to continue on with my educational goals without fear because I knew they were there for support and guidance. Thank you One Voice for helping making my dream a reality.
