Los Angeles Nonprofits and Charities

Hello, I'm Anna from Ukraine, I've been following the activities of this animal protection organization around the world for quite some time, I'm delighted, it's a really honest and responsible organization that's so cool cares about animals and their needs, that they can be given the highest rating for quality effectiveness and kindness to animals.

CLIENT NOT SERVED This law firm was assigned to represent the tenants of our building when it was placed into the City of Los Angeles’ REAP program. Unfortunately, the habitability issues in our building weren't all resolved, and the required outreach to tenants never occurred. City documents state that Inner City Law had contacted residents. However, no one in our building was ever contacted, and multiple calls and emails from tenants went unanswered. We were never even given the name of the attorney supposedly responsible for our representation. Not a single resident I know ever received any communication from this organization. The matter later proceeded to City Council without the required notice to tenants, and the building was removed from REAP based on the claim that outreach was "favorable". From the tenant perspective, that simply did not happen.

I happened to encounter a Google listing for DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT; placing some trust in myself, I contacted them without delay, explained my circumstances, and forwarded all relevant information I possessed. In less than 48 hours, my Bitcoin was successfully traced, reclaimed, and recovered back to my wallet. Kudos to the team of DUNE NECTAR WEB EXPERT for their professionalism and honesty.

All Peoples provides vital support to the local community they support in South LA. They serve the families in the community with essential needs, such as day care, food, financial help, and other vital services.

An inspiring organization that truly cares about their community. Such a well run program that educates, gives structure and cares. I was fortunate to spend some time in the classroom, hanging out with the staff and children and getting a glimpse of their lives. I also got the privilege to hear some hopes that they have. What a special place!

I was introduced to Create Now when living in a juvenile institution in its first year, (under the guidance of its founder Jill Gurr), and it was a life-transforming experience... Thanks to the Hollywood mentors it provided me, (as well as Jill's personal involvement), I was able to write my way out of the system and into film school at the University of Southern California and beyond. I will forever be grateful to Create Now, and hope that it has everything it needs to keep lifting up today's youth, one child at a time. - Tasha Caufield

I was in LA in 2015-2016, in my 20s, looking for some experience in cinema, and I had the privilege to volunteer for the American Cinematheque. What a blast. I will never forget their generosity. Both the Egyptian and the Aero theaters are historical gems worth fighting for. Thank you!!!

I was able to attend a Leadership Conference offered by Equality California, where profound leaders of the LGBTQIA+ community came to share their stories and offer advice for others looking to make a difference within and without the community. The presence of LGBTQIA+ panelists, moderators, and staff demonstrates Equality California's dedication to the community through its internal processes as much as its advocacy work.

They didn’t understand my child, who ended up being diagnosed later as autistic, the art teacher ignored my child and didn’t care, and the program head at the district kicked my child out. They are not equipped for kids that don’t fit inside the box at all whatsoever.

To Whom it may concern, <br> <br>My name is Tracy Resendiz, I am 54, I am a homeless college student with Covid. Before Covid shut the County of Ventura down, I also owned a business with 50 employees. Now, now I am living, if that is what you could call it, out of my car.I feel through all the cracks of the so-called funding that was out there for Covid, I did not receive any funding from our government, I am a taxpayer. I am mad, I am beyond frustrated, I do not have money, I am sick. I am also tired, very tired of asking for help. I am tired of being told to call 211 that they have help for the homeless. I am tired of being classified as homeless. I was quarantined for 10 days (about 1 and a half weeks) and the public health department had paid for that. After the ten days I was told to leave I was better. How am I better when the test results still come back positive? How am I better when I am still running fever, tell me? How am I better when I am still coughing up blood? I am not better! I cannot find the words to explain how I feel. Disappointed does not begin to describe how I feel. I am beside myself. I have called everyone in the county of Ventura to just be put aside and not herd. I have called everyone from COC to the homeless network to 211. There is no help there. I jumped threw the hoops for The Whole person care organization. I did everything I was told to do, they promised there were motel vouchers that would house me until the beginning of January. Joe Ann Hernandez, lied. I asked for help from Joe Eckles, from the turning point foundation, he had promised to help with 3 months of rent. After a month's tie .He lied I was put out when he only paid one month. He said it was due to me not turning in paperwork. Once again, he lied. I turned in all the paperwork. I applied for housing is key funding no help as of, yet I was put out of the house. Where is all the funding? I want to know where my tax dollars are going. I want to know what state officials are are doing to help the citizens of Ventura County. I want a place to call home again. I deserve that I have worked and paid taxes. Now I am sick, broke and still trying to overcome homelessness and covid. Someone needs to listen to me. I need help! I do not want another phone number. I do not want another empty promise. I am someone's mother, I am someone's daughter, I am a grandmother. I am out here in the streets alone without gas, without a home, without clean cloths, I am sick and tired. I work! Dam it! But I can't right now because I am still sic. Do you want to know what I was told by someone at 211 I was told it was probably better I had a car to stay in so I would not infect anyone. What about when I need to use the restroom? Is anyone listening? God forbid if one day you should have to go through what I have been going through. It is a dam shame that this letter should even need to be written. I need help. I need someone to HELP me. <br> <br> MY UNEMPLOYMENT RAN OUT, I NEED SOME FUNDING TO PAY FOR THE MOTEL I AM IN UNTIL JANUARY 2022. SO, I CAN GET BACK ON MY FEET AND I WONT NEED ANYONE OR ANYMORE HELP. THE WEEKLY RENT HERE IS 450.00 A WEEK. WHAT ARE ALL THESE EHG AND SNAPS VOUCHERS FOR WHO IS USING THEM? OR IS THE COUNTY OF VENTURA STILL SITTING ON ALL OF THE FUNDING WE NEED? <br> <br>I do not want an email back with another phone number from an office that could care less about the homeless people here in Ventura County. I do not want an email back with empty promises. I do not want an email back with an appointment that is going to end up nowhere. I want help. I need help by next Thursday or I will be staying in my car again with Covid. <br> <br>Tracy Resendiz <br> <br>(805) 342-9018 <br> <br> <br> <br> I also forgot to mention I am suppose to start a job in 10 days

From Michael W. <br>Do to failure of Skidrow Housing Trust to provide notification before disposition as per California law and lack of access by property mangement my personal property left in the unit after voluntarily relocating was improperly handled according to (California Civil Code 1984) which requires written notification before disposition of Personal Property causing to me to loose all of clothes and photos of my deceased mother left in the closet <br>Hi my name is Michael W I painfully write this email. I had been a resident of the New Genesis Apartments a building owned and operated by Skidrow Housing Trust since October 25, 2017 after being homeless living in a tent. In 2020 I contacted the Housing Authority of The City of Los Angeles requesting a Housing Choice Voucher which was granted instead of the limited Project Based Voucher for the opportunity to move away from often negative image of mental illness found on the streets of downtown even though mental illness is not just only contained to the downtown area of Los Angeles but does exist in other communin ities however it is more prevelent in downtown area because of its proximity to Skidrow. The night I left New Genesis I wasnt able to take all of my belongings with me because of limited space and had to leave the remainder of my things in the unit. The manager told me to just call and make arrangements to pick up rest of my stuff when I was ready however did not provide me with the phone number and I didnt ask for it thinking I could easily look the number up when I was ready to come back for my things. A few days later I arrived at the building with my cart before the office opened so I went to visit with a couple of my former neighbors to kill time until the office opened. After being on the premisis for hour I started looking up the number for the New Genesis online where I found several listing for the New Genesis Apartments but each and every number I called was either the wrong number or the line had been disconnected after making several attempts to get a phone number I contacted the main office for Skidrow Housing Trust at 1317 E 7th St. to get the number which was given to me I called and reached the New Genesis Apartments according to the phone greeting however after following the prompts several times trying to reach a representative I found out all of my calls( meaning all calls are) were automatically being re routed to another Housing Trust property even when the manager was in the office working I discovered this after calling and two seconds later after one of my call went unanswered after reaching the voice mall of another former manager for the new Genesis I received a call back from an unknown number from someone returning my call from caller ID saying I reached the Olympia Hotel. I had great difficulty getting in contact with property manager regarding when I can come pick up my things stating she the was the only one authorized to allow me access to the unit after I asked can the maintenance man open the door for me since she didnt have time to give access .one day when I came get my things saying call first next time is to a different part of the city regarding my remaining things that I was not able take when I moved out however I went to pick them up on a Tuesday about 2 weeks ago around August 17,2021 when I saw the manager of the building turning off the fire alarm when I approached with my cart to collect my things she says " You were to supposed to have called before you came " , I would have told you not to come" I said " How can I call when you never gave me the number and the number I got from the main office forward to the Olympia?" She said <br>Michael " my number is posted on the office door" becoming frustrated at this point I said " No its not the old managers number is on the door not yours " (referring to the previous manager for the building before she took over) <br>The manager tells me " I'm not scheduled to work today I only came out to shut off the Fire Alarm Im sick and not feeling well also my Maintenace Man is out today as well I don't have time to help you with your belongings because I'm late for my doctor's appointment to get cleared to return to work from the Coronavirus, "Come back Wednesday which is l and I'll gladly allow you access I assure your things are safe and won't be thrown out" The following day I contacted my case manager Exodus Recovery around 10 am, who is at the building every Wednesday to see clients and asked is the manager in today He says " No she isnt in and there's no one in the office today try calling the manager directly in the morning her number is posted in the window I'll get it for you if you don't already have it" I explained to him" The number posted in the window is not correct because it's for the previous Apartment Manager who has been re assigned to another building". My case manager suggested I follow up with the previous manager for updates on when the manager returns to work because she knows who I am as her former tenant which I did every other day. On Tuesday afternoon (August 24,2021) I contacted the previous manager who informed m e that " the manager that was out sick is no longer with the company (skidrow housing trust) and yesterday (August 23rd) while she was at building the maintenance man cleaned out my unit and threw my remaining stuff (belongings) out in the trash bin. I went to the New Genesis early in the morning following which was August 25,th to see what I could salvage when got there the new assistant manager was in the office so I explained to him that I wanted to confirm if what I was told regarding my things being thrown away was correct he told me didnt know anything about my unit being cleaned out and my things being thrown in trash so I asked if he would call maintenance and ask him about my things which he refused to do instead kept insisting I set up a time to meet with him the following day so he could open the door to the unit so I could get my things it wasnt until I asked him in frustration " Excuse me sir if my unit and my belongings have been cleaned out already how setting up a time for tomorrow going to help me get my things" He then contacted maintence asking about the belongings left in 312 telling me the unit was cleaned out and my things and been thrown in trash and already picked up and hauled away by the garbage truck. upon looking over where the the trash bin is some of my things were still onsite however all the clothes I had in the closet including my photos were picked up the day before. I strongly feel if the proper procedure for handling left over tenant belongings would have been followed I would not have experienced such a tremendous loss and emotional pain and stress after realizing the only clothes I have are two (2) pairs of pants and a (1) tshirt after having a closet full and my photo album containing my childhood memories ,I had with my mother gone <br> <br>

Pacifica has five radio stations licensed to them by the FCC -- KPFA in Berkeley, KPFK in L.A., KPFT in Houston TX, WBAI in NYC, and WPFW in DC. They invented listener-sponsored, commercial free radio in 1949 when FM was young. They also have 200+ affiliates and governance elected by listener and staff members, unique in broadcasting. They launched Democracy Now! and currently produce a national weekly show, COVID, Race & Democracy. They have tremendous potential and are paragons of free speech but have been overshadowed in their own markets by NPR stations and need to figure out how to grow and rejuvenate their listener base and content providers in the era of social media.

I have worked with EQCA for several months now, and they have been nothing but welcoming and hardworking. The individuals I met during my time with EQCA are spectacular. I enjoy working alongside them as we work dutifully to help serve our LGTBQ youth in the Central Valley.

JDI has been a great organization to work with. They have always been there to assist with training or to answer questions regarding the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA). Through our partnership with JDI we have really been able to move forward in addressing the PREA standards.

I serve as CaPA President. We were a key organization that helped achieve coverage for all undocumented children by including them in Medi-Cal, California’s Medicaid program. We currently are working on a Road Map to single payer for California and continue our work with many other sister organizations to expand coverage.

The EMA is serving its local community and the world by highlighting the urgency of caring for our planets environment with the support of famous people from the Film and TV world. <br>They reach into the local community, nationally and internationally with their message. <br> <br>The Founders and President share an inspiring vision to help our planet through the world of entertainment and documentary. Reaching out to educate and promote the need to care for our world right now. <br> <br>We can all support their work by supporting their cause and ultimately supporting each other to love and care for our planet. <br>

I've been supporting this organization for years and fully support their mission and goals.<br>They provide not only a physical museum in Los Angeles , but have touring educational displays to bring the story of Japanese Americans to areas of the US.<br>The story of what happened to Japanese Americans during World War 2 needs to be told, not only for the sake of those who experienced it, but as a cautionary tale of what could happen for any other ethnic/religious/ racial group in the face of racial hatred , hysteria and lack of political leadership.<br>

Amazing organization providing opportunities and resources to communities in need. Proud to have served this organization, our youth, and families for almost 10 years now!

What I am impressed with most. Mr. James Redford is grateful for the life he has now via a transplant, and he is using his talent his knowledge to help others. In transplant and via the arts which I feel is healing. He is helping others with his work. That is what is impressive to me. <br> <br>For me nature and arts and animals are healing. I moved from L.A. but I do love the arts. I moved to a very rural area, I have for many years kept it going in this area. Now I switched gears and train dogs for people who have disability's. This is rewarding because it is helping those in need. <br> <br>I have been a Professional Dancer, and choreographer on ice and off ice. I have been a Professional Figure Skater. I have worked in Stage Management, wrote plays for the children and write short story's. Compassion is so important and I feel Mr. James Redford has that. The only reason I write of myself is to verify that I believe I seen plastic false people. <br> <br>This organization and the work is not false. I believe in Mr James Redford his own gift he got a second chance, and now he is trying to give back. Isn't that a lesson? Wonderful. <br> <br>I have learned Nature is important as well. I am no longer in L.A. Life is so fragile. Our earth is fragile. <br> <br>I do not donate to many organizations. This is one of three. I rate this as a five star. Good non profit <br> <br> <br>Maybe that is it. My brother died at a very early age and donated for transplant. My brother was a giving kind very young man. He loved the nature and helping people. He would give you the shirt off of his back kind of a guy. My dad was like that as well. I think this project reminds me of being humble. We are all so fragile, people, animals and our earth. I believe Mr.James Redford's org. Just look at the man, his life and what he is doing to help others. <br> <br>If you have the money to give this is a great organization, honest. <br> <br> <br>

I have never been to Best Friends. I heard about them one day by accident. I was watching Animal Planet. There was a new show called Dogtown. It is part of the Best Friends family. I was so moved by the work they do and how every dog had a home with them for life. Yes, they could be adopted but, if that didn't happen they would have a warm and loving place for the rest of their lives. They also stepped up and helped with the Micheal Vick dogs. The ones that were able to were adopted out to great families. The ones who were so traumatized by the way they were treated, were given a permanent home at Dogtown. One dog in particular was a beautiful little girl named Georgia. She was truly special. I was so happy to she finally got her forever home. I joined Facebook last year. And there is where I found out more about Best Friends, and how many of them there were. This is a wonderful charity, they go the extra mile to see these babies get a trusted home or they care for them their whole lives.

Wow. I've been a supporter and a fan for 35 years They have the lowest percentage of overhead of any international relief and development group I have ever seen. Their slogan, "If you give -- it gets there" is absolutely true,
