Social Impact Programs

As an active partner in supporting our local communities, LAMV-CF believes its investments should extend beyond simply awarding grants. Creating social impact also involves supporting the leadership development and engagement of residents.

LAMV-CF currently manages the following two community-focused programs:

E3 Youth Philanthropy educates, engages, and empowers local youth to create positive change in their local communities. Participants both learn the values of philanthropy but also how to address local critical issues.

The Los Altos Block Action Team (BAT) program engages volunteers in community preparedness, mitigation, and response to local disasters.

"Thanks to LAMV-CF's Block Action Team program, our neighborhood has become better prepared for emergencies and also a closer and friendlier community."
