The Los Angeles Police Foundation is dedicated to preventing crime, saving lives and making our community a better and safer place to live and work by assisting the Los Angeles Police Department with resources not available from the city. We are the major source of private support for the LAPD.
 
The Foundation was formed in 1998 to fund urgently needed programs and equipment for the Los Angeles Police Department. Almost $16 million in grants has been awarded to date, and the needs are growing.
 
Civic leader Eli Broad, a member of our Advisory Committee, says:  “The Los Angeles Police Foundation is a vital resource for the people of Los Angeles.  The partnership of businesses and individuals working with police officers to enrich and support our community makes our city a better place for all Angelenos.”
 
We are a 501(c)(3) corporation.  Our federal tax ID number is 95-4700442.
 
We welcome your inquiries, your feedback and your support.  Please become our partner in making Los Angeles the safest big city in America.
