The Harmony Project, L.A.’s largest music education nonprofit serving youth from under-resourced communities, demonstrated remarkable resilience after the Eaton fire in January.

SAM granted $80,000 to Lost Angels Career Center this past winter allowing them to enroll additional high-risk, high-barrier, low-income students into their work program. These students are paid from day 1 during Lost Angel’s 12-week innovative vocational training, and graduate from the program with high-income, career jobs already in hand.

SAM's grant of $80,000 allowed LA Food Policy Council to hire a Development and Grants Manager. This new role has been instrumental in managing grants and spearheading fundraising efforts to continue their commitment to addressing food insecurity in LA County.

SAM’s funding enabled Alzheimer's Los Angeles to recruit and hire a highly skilled Care Navigator who has a Masters in Gerontology and has a background in geriatric case management. This new staff member developed a welcome packet for program participants which provides tools, templates, and materials that are integral to ensuring not only the program's success but will continue to further provide free dementia care and support to patients and their families.
