Fueling Change: Support Our Social Enterprise in Los Angeles
A Fox Foundation Change Accelerator grant is helping Seen&Heard build a sustainable social enterprise that empowers young people and strengthens our LA County community.
Los Angeles County is facing rising demand for education and mentorship services, and community‑based nonprofits like ours need to diversify revenue sources to keep pace. Thanks to a multi‑year grant from the Fox Foundation’s Change Accelerator program, Seen&Heard is moving toward a social enterprise model that will strengthen our long‑term sustainability and deepen our impact.
Our vision is simple: combine the heart of a nonprofit with the ingenuity of a business. By offering creative programs and services that generate their own income, we can expand mentoring, training and job opportunities for youth while staying accountable to our mission. The Fox Foundation’s support, along with guidance from their co‑founders, executive director and professional network, will help us develop diverse revenue streams, improve financial stability and serve more young people across Los Angeles.
Community members and donors have always been at the center of Seen&Heard’s success. Your support allows us to respond to local needs and fuel innovation. As we build this social enterprise, we invite you to follow our progress, share your ideas and consider a gift to help us launch. Every contribution—whether it’s funding a workshop, sponsoring a participant or volunteering your skills—directly impacts the youth we serve.
We look forward to sharing more stories and opportunities to get involved in the coming months. Join us in fueling change and creating a social enterprise that empowers the next generation in Los Angeles.
