The Creation of The LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investments
Challenge
The Atlas Family Foundation was concerned about multiple public agencies working in silos to achieve similar goals in early childhood development.
Approach
Over the course of 4 years, JMC Philanthropic Advisors and The Atlas Family Foundation brought together a large group of individual donors, public and private funders, and members of the business community interested in early childhood development to initiate a dialogue about increasing services, reducing redundancy, and fostering best practices.
Throughout the process, a strong support was provided by The Carl & Roberta Deutsch Foundation, First 5 LA, LA County Department of Children and Family Services, and the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, who work together as equal partners.
Results
The LA Partnership for Early Childhood Investment emerged in 2003. The Atlas Family Foundation and JMC were catalytic in its formation.
Since then, the partnership has evolved into a philanthropic funding collaborative comprised of some of the country's largest and most impactful private and family foundation, as well as public funders of early childhood development.
JMC works with its donors on an individualized basis to define and achieve their philanthropic objectives. We encourage our clients to innovate in their chosen program areas and to create entrepreneurial grantmaking initiatives that set new standards of excellence in their field.
