Against a loud backdrop of inflamed passions fanned by polarizing media attention, scores of officers and hundreds of children are growing together, learning from one another, and lighting the way toward an increasingly promising future for the children, their families, and the Watts community
The Crown Robinson Family Philanthropy (CRFP) is the giving vehicle of a Los Angeles family that seeks to create private-public partnerships that enable creative solutions to trenchant social problems. Much of CRFPs most vital work is currently done in historic Watts, Los Angeles, where CRFP supports LAPDs community police officers, who often work side-by-side with community members - in mentoring, coaching, tutoring, and otherwise developing youth.
By creating models for officer-engaged organizations to develop the whole child, see the child through developmental challenges, build resilience and academic and athletic confidence, and demonstrate the results of these efforts, the Crown Robinson Family Philanthropy aims to make an impact on Los Angeles that will become a beacon of inspiration for urban communities across the nation.
