Second District Funding Requests

The Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell is able to provide discretionary funding to a limited number of selected organizations in the Second District of the County of Los Angeles. All funding requests must be submitted using the form below so that we can begin our review and approval process.

Please note that your funding request must meet the social needs of the population of Los Angeles County, including but not limited to the areas of health, public safety, rehabilitation, well-being, education, and legal services, and to assist in the needs of the physically, mentally and financially challenged persons and aged persons pursuant to California Government Code 26227.

Prioritization will be given to organizations based in the Second Supervisorial District. Requests must focus on serving the residents of the Second Supervisorial District. We prioritize funding requests for direct programs or services. We are unable to provide support for general fundraising donation requests. Our office is not able to directly provide County equipment for events, but you may submit a funding request to support your organization’s costs for renting equipment for events

Small Grant Funding Request Application

The Funding Request Review Team is now reviewing small grant funding requests that were submitted by the February 13, 2026 deadline. Final decisions for applications submitted by February 13, 2026, are expected by the end of March 2026.

You may be contacted by a member of our review team if they need more information about your request. If your application is incomplete, you do not meet the application requirements, or you do not respond to our office’s inquiries regarding your request, then your funding request may be rejected. If your request is approved, it takes an additional 4-8 weeks after approval to complete the paperwork and County approval process before funding can be issued by the County.

We are unable to approve all the funding requests that we receive. Submitting a request does not guarantee approval of your funding request.
