Survey of Los Angeles' Philanthropic Foundations

A new survey conducted by The Center on Philanthropy and Public Policy shows signs of increased optimism among Los Angeles' philanthropic foundations, but uncertainty about the future remains. Giving by Los Angeles' philanthropic foundations has stabilized while their endowments begin a turnaround. However, survey results indicate that the region's foundations remain uncertain about the future as a return to 2008 asset levels is predicted to still be more than a few years away.
