Whitecap Foundation

Reading to Kids thanks the Whitecap Foundation for supporting our program.

"The Whitecap Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life in the Los Angeles region by supporting neighborhood-focused organizations that address family needs. Whitecap's major areas of interest are:

  • After-school, weekend and off-track education
  • Family support, including parent education, job preparation, literacy and enrichment opportunites.

To accomplish our mission, Whitecap engages in a process that we call enhanced grantmaking. Through this process, we combine technical assistance and training with our programmatic grants. Enhanced grantmaking seeks to address challenges common to all grantees: leading and managing the organization, personnel issues, programs, financial planning, etc. We also encourage a networking community among our grantees for the purpose of sharing information and expertise."
