The Mission

The mission of the Los Angeles Times Family Fund, a fund of the McCormick Tribune Foundation, is to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and youth in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura counties.

Each year, the Los Angeles Times Family Fund conducts two fundraising campaigns – the Summer Camp Campaign and the Holiday Campaign. Los Angeles Times readers and employees, foundations, corporations and concerned citizens make contributions to the campaigns. Funds raised are matched 50 cents on the dollar by the McCormick Tribune Foundation.*

Donations and matching funds are granted through the Los Angeles Times Family Fund to youth-serving nonprofit organizations that provide food and shelter, early literacy and after-school programs and summer camp scholarships. The Times and the Foundation absorb all administrative and fundraising costs, so 100% of all donations and the entire matching funds are awarded to nonprofit agencies.

Since its inception, the Los Angeles Times Family Fund has awarded 773 youth-focused grants totaling nearly $17 million. In addition, the Family Fund has conducted fundraising campaigns and awarded $3.9 million in grants to organizations that provide assistance and relief to victims of September 11, 2001 and the Southern California wildfires in October 2003.

Summer Camp Campaign

Since 1954, Los Angeles Times readers and employees, foundations, corporations and concerned citizens like you have pooled their resources to provide more than 410,000 camp scholarships to disadvantaged children and youth. By providing camp scholarship donations, you help kids, ages 7-17, develop a sense of confidence and control over their lives. Camp is a place where a positive perspective can finally be discovered – an experience thousands of young people will carry with them long after the last nature hike, sing-a-long or marshmallow roast.

Holiday Campaign

In 2000, the Los Angeles Times Family Fund launched an annual Holiday Campaign to raise funds to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and youth. By contributing to the Holiday Campaign, you help low-income children by meeting their most basic needs...food, clothing and shelter. In addition, your donation provides early literacy and after-school programs.
