This past year I gave more money to Liberty Hill than any other organization. Why? Because, Liberty Hill is investing in long-term solutions to the most challenging problems facing L.A. and our nation - affordable housing, a true living wage, a healthy environment, gay and lesbian rights. They're not just slapping a band-aid on problems. They are funding real, long-lasting solutions.

We are so impressed with the liberty Hill foundation we have been serving our community for over 17 years now and we have apply for several grants with local community foundations and not one of them helped us until we found the Liberty Hill Foundation. They did more than just help us with grant funding they made us feel like we will part of their family! Not only did they attend our event they helped us step-by-step along the way. Their staff was friendly and generally cares about our community and our organization. They didn't close the door with just grant funding they also have given us valuable advice on growing our organization and providing more leadership in our community.
Their grant had very big impact on us this grant allows us to host two events, help us better inform our community on their rights. The forum impacted the issues we where addressing by increased community awareness, understanding, bringing people together through learning groups and networking with attorneys. The forum helped to make a difference around the racial profiling by acted as a catalyst for community change, civic action and readiness by offering support, guidance and training to educating and informing residents about their legal rights, and how they should respond when they are confronted by L.A. County Sheriffs’. The you Liberty Hill Foundation and staff.

Liberty Hill invests in community organizing at the frontlines of change. It is one of the most innovative, thought leaders in how it supports social and environmental justice issues. The organization - from the staff to the board - finds strength in its diversity.

Liberty Hill is always on the forefront of change whether it's advancing marriage equality in California, strengthening leaders and organizations through training or grant-making. Liberty Hill has helped low-income Angelenos improve their lives and harness the power of collective action to create self-sustaining communities. Change Not Charity.
