Putting A Passion For Justice Into Action
Donor Activists
Our Donor Activists put their passion into action to help make Los Angeles a more just and equitable place. Their generous unrestricted gifts allow us to continue to power the grassroots movements shaping L.A.
Whether they are sending postcards in support of youth development, signing petitions to end oil drilling across the county, or attending our events to raise funds to support this critical work, Liberty Hill’s Donor Activists show up for social justice! We couldn’t do this work without your support.
Honoring Paula Litt: 35 Years of Dedication to the Liberty Hill Community
For 35 years, Paula Litt has been an instrumental part of the Liberty Hill community. Fueled by her passion for social justice, Paula has worn many hats over the years, including as a staff volunteer overseeing donor advised programs and administration, as well as serving as a member of the Foundation’s Funding Board and its Board of Directors. She was deeply involved in Liberty Hill’s fundraising committee and philanthropic programs, and played a key role in the planning of our Upton Sinclair Celebration. As Paula retires from Liberty Hill’s Board of Directors, she leaves an everlasting impact and unforgettable legacy.

I know that if I provide general support to Liberty Hill, I am supporting an organization that’s doing excellent work in the L.A. and SoCal region.
We are deeply grateful for the unwavering commitment of Liberty Hill’s longtime donor activists and funding partners and the many individuals and organizations that began new partnerships with Liberty Hill during this critical moment in history.
Together, we are bending the Arc towards justice.
