California Community Foundation

My private investigator did it again, found out interesting info regarding the Watts House project, leaving us with more questions than answer. She has certainly milked this project for all its worth and it is still incomplete 11 years later. Where are the money that was raised for it and the grant money that was received for it? 

In 2011, Alexandra Grant received $25,000 for the Watts House under the California Community foundation and the article in the LA Times from 2012 alludes to her raising $32,000 from selling her jewelry and she was also soliciting private donations so I’m sure she received more than the $32,000 plus $25,000 of CCF grant. The Watts House is taken over by Fulcrum and donation is still being solicited and it is still incomplete. 

This is a direct quote from the LA. Times article by Jori Fenkel, "Since its founding three years ago, the nonprofit has raised about $700,000 from donors including the L.A. County Museum of Art, the Andy Warhol Foundation and ArtPlace, a consortium spearheaded (but not funded) by the NEA." The $700,000 is for the whole neighborhood, not just Watts House, but that is a lot of money and not much to show for in term of improvement.
