LA Fund

Today is #ArtsDayLA thx to our friends at @Arts4LA who make it their mission day in & out to ensure #ArtsMatter. (at Los Angeles City Hall)

We know teachers are overwhelmed, grants are difficult to apply for, and funding is being left on the table. Grants HQ was created by the LA Fund to provide LAUSD’s teachers and principals the resources, tools and support they need to access millions of dollars of grant funding.   Log in to register for our workshops.   

A big thank you to our friends at Whitewall for this wonderful post on our Arts Matter campaign to support arts education in the LAUSD!

What's even more exciting is that all proceeds from the auction go towards supporting arts education in Los Angeles public schools through our Arts Matter campaign!  Click here for more info.
