John Randolph Haynes And Dora Haynes Foundation
THE HAYNES FOUNDATION has been a force for change in the Los Angeles Region (comprised of the counties of Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange) for over nine decades. The Foundation’s founders, Dr. John Randolph Haynes and Dora Haynes were passionate advocates of involved citizenship who believed that through social science research, the Foundation not only could identify critical social and political problems in Los Angeles but also offer solutions to them. The Foundation awards major research grants on governance and democracy in the Los Angeles region, archival grants, doctoral dissertation fellowships, and faculty fellowships.
Governance and Democracy in the Los Angeles Region
Through our Governance and Democracy Initiative, we strive to:
We expect researchers to seek opportunities to collaborate with community-based organizations and/or policymakers. We are open to all fields of study and disciplines that address governance and democracy in the Los Angeles region.
Grant Type
There are two grant types for the initiative on Governance and Democracy: Planning Grants and Research-to-Action Grants
Planning Grants
Planning grants are made for up to one year.
Planning grants are best suited for projects that require further development, including expanding community and policymaker contacts and refining research questions and strategies. In short, the planning grant is to help get the project ready to go.
For planning grants, applicants submit a short proposal consisting of framed questions to propose the planning effort and how it aligns with the Foundation’s priorities.
