Putting A Passion For Justice Into Action
Giving Circles: Collective Impact Through Philanthropy
Spotlight: The X-Fund Celebrates 10 Years!
The X Fund and its goals to create social change in Los Angeles celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024. The group held their annual X-Fund Reception, which brought together members and grantees at The Getty House to celebrate their shared dedication to uplifting women, girls, and gender-expansive individuals.
Since its inception, the X Fund has championed gender justice issues, providing vital resources to womenled organizations on the frontlines of this important movement. The annual event included a welcome from Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, remarks from X Fund committee members, and inspiring words from newly awarded X Fund grantees.
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.
