| Recipient | American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles |
| City | Los Angeles, CA |
| Description | The United States Geological Survey is predicting that a 7.8 magnitude earthquake will strike Southern California sometime in the next 30 years. As the result of a 2007 comprehensive planning and simulation exercise conducted by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, it is expected that a collapse in the infrastructure may delay the arrival of outside assistance including government resources and the national American Red Cross. Consequently, the American Red Cross of Greater Los Angeles recognized the need to establish response capabilities within the community to respond independently of outside assistance. Resulting analysis projected the need for the Los Angeles Chapter to shelter 250,000 evacuees and serve two million meals per day for up to five days. This grant will help the Red Cross continue to build its catastrophic response capacity over the next two years. (Amount Awarded: $250,000)

| Description | The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Los Angeles Harbor's (BGCLAH) College Bound Program
Expansion Project will establish College Bound Programs at the organization's Port of Los Angeles Club and Wilmington Teen Center that mirror what is currently offered at the San Pedro Teen Center. Since College Bound was implemented at the San Pedro Teen Center in 2002, the high school graduation rate of Club Members increased from less than 50% to 88% today, with 95% of the graduates going on to a 2-year college or 4-year university in the fall. The Project will provide youth in Wilmington and the neighborhoods surrounding the Port of Los Angeles with the guidance, support and resources they need to reach their academic and personal goals - resources that are not readily available or even accessible to the majority of youth in these communities. The goal of this three-year expansion project that began in 2008 is to increase the high school graduation and college acceptance rates in the San Pedro and Wilmington communities. By June 2011, College Bound will serve 1,000 youth annually.

| Recipient | Shelter Partnership |
| City | Los Angeles, CA |
| Description | The project involves the rehabilitation of a 108,000 square foot warehouse in the City of Bell, where the S. Mark Taper Foundation Shelter Resource Bank operates. The Resource Bank distributes donated new goods to over 200 agencies/unique projects annually, providing them with essential items for both their operations and the clients they serve. For 19 years, the Federal government provided free rent for the warehouse. In July 2007, under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, ownership of the warehouse and accompanying six acres of property was transferred to Shelter Partnership at no cost. The warehouse complex was built in the early 1940s and has never been significantly rehabilitated or upgraded. Although safe, it does not meet today's building codes. This project will upgrade the major systems of the warehouse and also increase the Resource Bank’s storage capacity by more than one-third, ensuring sufficient potential for future growth.

Health Care
|
| Recipient | Childrens Hospital Los Angeles |
| City | Los Angeles, CA |
| Description | Childrens Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA) has provided state-of-the-art medical care to children in a family-centered environment throughout its 107 year history. When the hospital's current inpatient facility was dedicated in 1968, it supported the best possible care available at that time. However, medical technology and practice significantly evolved over the last 40 years. Further, the current inpatient building does not meet the new state-mandated seismic requirements (SB 1953) that were passed after the 1994 Northridge earthquake. To continue offering the highest standards of medical excellence and quality care for children, it became imperative that the existing inpatient building be replaced. The seven-story, 460,000 square foot, 317 bed new hospital building will enable CHLA to expand key acute care services; incorporate advances in medical technology; enhance family-centered care; and exceed new seismic safety standards.(Amount Awarded:$1,000,000)
