ABOUT JUSTIN YOSHIMARU
The Los Angeles Parks Foundation is a nonprofit organization that was founded in 2008 to enhance, expand, preserve, and promote public parks, recreation and open space for Angelenos everywhere. We partner with The City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks to support over 450 city parks and augment public budgeting by establishing public/private partnerships that generate revenue for enhancements that the city is unable to offer through limited municipal funding. Since its founding, the Los Angeles Parks Foundation has raised over $45 million to fund capital projects, programs and initiatives that improve access to public parks and recreation for underserved communities, promote environmental sustainability, and preserve our public parks for future generations. Previously, I worked at Accelerator for America which finds and develops solutions to economic insecurity and shares them with cities to create national change from the ground up. I was responsible for sourcing new opportunities, developing strategic partnerships, and fundraising. At the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, I worked to develop the Angeleno Card program here in Los Angeles which distributed $37M in direct financial assistance to over Angelenos. I also started the Accelerator\'s workforce development initiatives which aimed to create equitable pathways into family-sustaining careers.
