The LACPA – and by extension the Foundation – represents over 4000 licensed psychologist within Los Angeles County.

Foundation Giving
The focus of the Foundation’s giving has changed over the years, but one thing has remained constant: The promotion of human welfare through psychology. The foundation has been proud to give to a broad range of organizations whose goal is to address critical mental health and wellness initiatives throughout Los Angeles County, including the Soldiers Project, the Miracle Project, the Venice Family Clinic, and the Green Cross. This year, the Foundation's main focus is assisting those who provide mental health services to relieve suffering in those whose basic human rights have been minimized or violated.
The foundation also supports poster presentations at LACPA's annual convention. Read about our recent poster winners here.
