“The cultural life of the city matters not so much for the culture itself, but in what cultural things can do for a community.”
– Dorothy Chandler
About Us
Music Center Foundation is focused on building our endowment to support the performing arts of Los Angeles.
Mission
Music Center Foundation was established in 1973 to provide endowment support to The Music Center/Performing Arts Center of Los Angeles County, its educational activities, dance programs and Resident Companies.
Sustaining the performing arts in Los Angeles is a unique opportunity that we can take on together. At Music Center Foundation, we’re honored to serve alongside and provide a base of support to our renowned partnering organizations.
By making a gift through the Foundation, you can be a part of inspirational new work that threads our community together through a vibrant, emotional connection to the performing arts.
Following Dorothy Chandler’s example, you can be a part of building the future of Los Angeles.
Our Work
Focused on long-term growth, the Foundation’s primary business is building endowment through our asset management and securing new endowment funds utilizing planned giving. The strength of the Foundation lies in the financial expertise, results-oriented approach, and long-term focus of its Board, which includes representatives from all our partnering organizations.
