Honored to have our CEO, Amber Sheikh, be the keynote speaker for our clients All For Kids during their IKON Professional Development Day, addressing the nearly 180 frontline team members who support children, families, and communities every day.

As a proud partner to All For Kids, we were grateful for the opportunity to reflect with staff on the challenge of holding space for others while navigating our own personal hardships. Amber’s message centered on the importance of leaning into quiet moments to reflect, reset, and restore—especially for those doing deeply human work every day.

Thank you, All For Kids, for investing in your incredible team.

One week ago in San Diego, Amber Sheikh took the stage at Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) ICON Conference to share a message that resonated deeply with fundraisers across the sector.

Her session focused on a powerful idea: Becoming a Stronger Fundraiser by Reconnecting to Your Personal Why — because when you take the time to define your personal “why,” you don’t just raise funds — you build authentic relationships, communicate with conviction and lead with intention. That clarity becomes the foundation for stronger donor engagement, more compelling storytelling and ultimately, greater impact.

In a field driven by connection and trust, knowing why you do this work isn’t optional — it’s essential. Grateful to see this conversation take center stage among leaders committed to strengthening the future of philanthropy.

Congratulations to our clients, The Positive Results Corporation on being featured on the front page of the Los Angeles Times for their 10th Annual Prom Dress & Tux Gift-Away.

This past Saturday, nearly 700 students gathered at the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel for an event that went far beyond formalwear — connecting families to critical resources through a thoughtfully curated community fair.

For more than 30 years, PRC has set the standard for what it means to serve with care, intention, and measurable impact.

We’re proud to stand alongside organizations doing this work every day — showing what’s possible when community comes first.

Proud of our client Long Beach Opera for being named in the LA Times’ Best of Classical Music 2025! Their commitment to avant-garde opera — and their drive to bring experimental, transformative work to broader audiences — is redefining what opera can be. A special shout-out to Board Member Marjorie Beale, whose steady leadership and bold vision are helping to chart a dynamic and inspiring future for LBO.

From Gustavo Dudamel to Esa-Pekka Salonen to Claire Chase to Peter Sellars, classical music had many bright spots in 2025.

Celebrating the San Pedro Chamber of Commerce Holiday Parade 2025 — one of our most beloved traditions and always a joy to sponsor. From hosting special guests at our VIP reception to enjoying the parade alongside colleagues, community members, and friends, it’s a festive highlight every year.

In today’s LA Times, our CEO, Amber Sheikh, is quoted in an article highlighting our region’s real and deeply concerning possibility of budget reductions that could force thousands of our neighbors back into homelessness. This is not a projection any of us take lightly. When resources shrink, the human impact is immediate — and often irreversible.

As Chair of the LAHSA Commission, Amber believes it’s essential that the public understands both the scale of the challenge and the difficult decisions in front of us. Transparency is not always comfortable, and it is certainly not always welcomed. But it is necessary. Our community deserves an honest accounting of what these cuts mean: fewer outreach teams on the street, fewer beds available, fewer pathways into stability for people who are already at the margins.

Transparency also requires that we share both our challenges and our progress. The homelessness response system is complex, but our obligation is straightforward: to communicate honestly, to act decisively, and to ground our decisions in data, accountability, and humanity.

We cannot confront a crisis of this scale by softening the truth or obscuring consequences. We must face it directly — with urgency, clarity, and a unified commitment to preventing people from falling back into homelessness. I remain steadfast in advocating for the resources our region needs and in ensuring the public understands the real impact when those resources fall short.

Local officials say more than 14,500 L.A. County households in subsidized, permanent housing could be forced into homelessness, mostly because of federal cuts.
