Overview

1P Foundation is a US private foundation based in Los Angeles, CA.

What they fund

Profile derived from the foundation's IRS Form 990-PF filings (TY2024, TY2023, TY2022) and its website, with every statement checked against those sources. Sources read on 7 October 2026.

Priority Areas

1P Foundation provides funding to public charities doing important work across its focus areas. The site names homelessness, education, gun safety, climate change and social entrepreneurship, and also describes workforce development and food allergy as issue areas. It frames homelessness as a local focus, workforce development as state-level, gun safety as national and climate change as global. The wider 1P.org approach is entrepreneurial: it researches complex challenges, incubates new non-profit entities, collaborates with existing organisations, government agencies and educational institutions, and funds effective non-profit or educational enterprises. Its approach stresses innovation, technology and scalable impact.
