The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable announced its monthly Impact Micro Awards for October on Monday, October 3.

The micro awards are given monthly.

The October award recipients are: Famli, Inc, the Roger F. Clayton Foundation, and Eso Won Books. These groups and community establishments are involved in building sustainable communities through at risk youth mentoring and education programs, use of the creative arts to prevent gang violence, and enriching and encouraging the literary and reading traditions in South Los Angeles. These organizations and establishments have shown by their work and example their unswerving dedication to building sustainable communities. Their mission, work and accomplishments are spotlighted on the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable website:http://losangelesurbanpolicyroundtable.blogspot.com

“Budget cutbacks, the sharp increase in poverty, and the on-going struggle of small community service groups for funding have made it more vital that we help fill the funding gap to boost them in their efforts to build community sustainability in under-served communities,” says Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson, “The Impact Micro Awards aim to further community self-reliance and independence. This is the pathway to citizen empowerment.”

The Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable encourages will make its next Impact Awards in November. Information and nominations for the Impact Awards
