What it says it does

The Impact Foundation LA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by addiction, mental health challenges, and emotional isolation. Based in the foothill community of Los Angeles, our mission is rooted in compassion, connection, and the belief that healing is possible when people are given access to the right support systems. We serve our community by connecting individuals to life-changing resources through an established network of partners. From treatment referrals and therapy to mentorship and sober living, we offer holistic support designed to help people not only survive but thrive. Our work was born from personal loss and a commitment to prevent others from experiencing the same. In 2021, our founder Victoria Da Salla lost her son to an accidental overdose at just 27 years old. His story is a reminder of the urgency and importance of what we do every day. At The Impact Foundation LA, we walk beside every client on their path to recover

Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
