About Us
The LA Strong Foundation was created by Philanthropists, and Venture Capitalists Maxi Kozler Koven and Drew Koven. The Koven’s have a long and distinguished track record of supporting various causes and nonprofit organizations as Executive Leaders, Board Members and Donors.
A 501(c)(3), of grassroots, boots on the ground, first and fast responders, we simplify the complexity of accessing urgent aid for those in crisis, supporting the well-being of Los Angeles. One call is all it takes.
We work hand in hand with nonprofits, community organizations, and local leaders to understand what people truly need that will make a difference.
The Work We Support
We don’t work from an ivory tower. We’re on the frontlines.
We combine day-to-day community knowledge with our experience as executives, entrepreneurs, and investors, applying the same practical, solutions-oriented approach we’ve used to build successful businesses.
By providing essential products, resources, operational support and business acumen with hands-on support, we simplify complexity and solve problems. We collaborate with our network of partners to make big things happen fast and cost effectively.
