The Everychild Foundation held its 14th Annual Luncheon at The Skirball Cultural Center on Wednesday, March 5, presenting a $1 million grant to The Children’s Clinic of Long Beach.
The two-year grant will be used to launch the Everychild Bright Beginnings Initiative, a program designed to address the effects of toxic stress and chronic exposure to violence in infants, toddlers, and pregnant mothers. Experts believe it to be the first ever project to embed toxic stress screenings into routine pre-natal and pediatric medical check-ups.
The Everychild Foundation, based in Pacific Palisades, is a group of 200 Los Angeles women who each donate $5,000 annually. We pool the money and award a single $1 million grant to a different Los Angeles area charity each year filling critical unmet needs of children. Visit everychildfoundation.org.
Since the first grant in 2000, the Foundation has now awarded almost $12 million, all without a single fundraising event, and have directly served over half a million children.
