Goldhirsh Foundation

The world is brimming with innovators whose ideas can shape our region and change the world. At the Goldhirsh Foundation, we identify the brightest emerging talent and give them the tools to best support their success. We hold ourselves to the same high standard of the talent we seek to cultivate. We are a small team, passionate about our work in social innovation. We strive to manifest that beyond our investments—by creating events and mission-driven initiatives meant to bring together thinkers and doers across a spectrum of disciplines. The Goldhirsh Foundation has been making grants for almost a decade, but was re-launched in 2012 in Los Angeles, where the majority of our grant-making occurs. In 2013, the Goldhirsh Foundation conducted its grantmaking via the 2013 My LA2050 Grants Challenge. After a successful grants challenge in 2013, the Goldhirsh Foundation conducted its grantmaking in 2014, 2015, and 2016 via the My LA2050 Grants Challenge, and 2018 via the My LA2050 Activation Challenge.
