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

The Office of Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell is happy to announce the reopening of our funding request application. At this time, we are only accepting applications to support events.

We ask that applications for event sponsorship be submitted at least 60 days prior to the event date (unless related to a back-to-school event). If your application is submitted with less than 60 days’ notice, we will not be able to process your application.
