Butterfly Equity Foundation

The mission of the Butterfly Equity Foundation is to empower our community partners to strengthen the local food system and improve healthy food access for all. We envision a world where everyone has equitable access to nourishing food that promotes their wellbeing.

The Butterfly Equity Foundation is a Los Angeles-based corporate foundation committed to supporting nonprofits working to achieve food equity in Los Angeles County. The Foundation has three focus areas: nutrition security, food as medicine, and increasing affordable healthy food retail in underserved neighborhoods. We also devote time and resources to convening our grantees and fellow funders, and to being active participants in spaces that bring the nonprofit, philanthropy, corporate, and government sectors together to collaborate.

The Foundation was created alongside Butterfly Equity, a private equity company focused on making investments in the food sector from seed to fork. The Foundation works alongside our for-profit colleagues to help achieve our vision of a world where everyone has equitable access to nourishing food that promotes their wellbeing.
