The Cimarron Group firmly believes that with success comes responsibility. It is this kind of thinking that has motivated us to become involved with a multitude of charitable organizations over the years. While The Cimarron Group contributes, monetarily each year to many worthy causes, we believe that the donation of time and expertise is even more essential. Evidence of this altruistic attitude is found throughout the company, from our CEO's involvement with Project Angel Food, to a production artist's participation in the Reading by 9 program.

LOS ANGELES POLICE FOUNDATION

LAPD Blue Sponsors

With 96% of the LAPD’s budget spent on personnel, only 4% is left to purchase new equipment, technology and training. LAPF is there to enhance the efficiency and modernization of the Los Angeles Police Department that will help keep our communities and families safe.
The Los Angeles Police Foundation is the major source of private financial support for the LAPD. The Police Foundation supports the LAPD by creating partnerships that provide resources to fund urgently needed equipment and technology, training, youth programs and community outreach not available from the city budget. Since its founding in 1998, the Police Foundation has awarded more than $14 million in grants that help the police serve at their highest level.
L.A. FAMILY HOUSING
L.A. Family Housing (LAFH) was founded in 1983 to help families transition out of homelessness and poverty through a continuum of housing enriched with supportive services. In total we own and operate 21 properties, including three homeless shelters and 18 permanent rental properties. LAFH served more than 2,500 people living in poverty this past year through its multiple housing and supportive service programs, and has served over 100,000 people since its inception.
LAFH maintains an extensive and diverse network of community-based partnerships with non-profit and private sector organizations, all of whom provide an invaluable contribution toward the agency's mission and goals. Since 1987, a vast majority of the families completing LAFH's programs have maintained permanent housing and stable income.
JUVENILE DIABETES RESEARCH FOUNDATION
JDRF is the worldwide leader for research to cure type 1 Diabetes (T1D). It sets the global agenda for diabetes research, and is the largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes science worldwide.
The mission of JDRF is to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research. T1D is an autoimmune disease that strikes children and adults suddenly, and can be fatal. Until a cure is found, people with T1D have to test their blood sugar and give themselves insulin injections multiple times or use a pump--each day, every day of their lives. And even with that intensive care, insulin is not a cure for diabetes, nor does it prevent its potential complications, which may include kidney failure, blindness, heart disease, stroke, and amputation.
Since its founding in 1970 by parents of children with T1D, JDRF has awarded more than $1.5 billion to diabetes research, including $107 million last year. More than 80 percent of JDRF's expenditures directly support research and research-related education.
