The Broad Foundation was founded by the late businessman Eli Broad and his wife, Edythe. The foundation makes grants across Los Angeles, with the goal of helping young Angelenos from under-invested neighborhoods achieve upward mobility.

“Our vision for Los Angeles is one where all Angelenos can shape and participate in an inclusive, clean and upwardly mobile economy,” states the foundation on its website. “By focusing resources on efforts to develop skills and strengthen career pathways, we believe we can help expand economic opportunity for Angelenos from historically marginalized communities and build a brighter future for Los Angeles.”

Ashley Dennig Blodgett, director of investments at the Broad Foundation, was named a 2024 CIO NextGen.
