LSSF FOUNDATION

What LSSF FOUNDATION does

LSSF Foundation (legal name Lomita Sheriff Station Foundation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation (Tax ID 99-4660980) founded in 1976 to promote community welfare through auxiliary services supporting the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, Lomita Station. The foundation funds deputy equipment, training, fitness programs, and community outreach initiatives that strengthen public safety and law-enforcement-community relations. Its programmatic beneficiary is a single sheriff station serving the cities of Lomita, Rancho Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills Estates, and Rolling Hills, plus several unincorporated areas (La Rambla, Academy Hill, Palos Verdes Peninsula, Westfield).

The foundation operates a tiered donation program (Copper $500 through Diamond $25,000) with founding-member perpetuity benefits available through October 31, 2025, and additional custom-amount giving options through its Wix-hosted website. Its principal fundraising channels are an annual Golf Tournament (scheduled September 28, 2026 at Trump National Golf Club), a 50th Anniversary Celebration Dinner (February 28, 2026 at Terranea Resort), and direct corporate outreach by board members. Named founding-member sponsors include California Water Service (Diamond), Giuliano's (Platinum), the Kiwanis Club of Lomita-Harbor City (Gold), and multiple Silver/Bronze/Copper tier donors. The organization has no paid staff, no technology products, and no AI/ML capabilities; its website serves purely as an informational and donation portal.

Governance is provided by a volunteer Board of Directors comprising community members, local business representatives, and an Ex Officio member from LASD (Captain Kimberly Guerrero). The Chairman is Mark Waronek, also Mayor of the City of Lomita. The foundation does not disclose financials, has no parent company, and is independently operated as a public charity reliant on donations, sponsorships, and event fundraising rather than equity capital.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Others

• Police Benevolent Association: Labor and benevolent organization representing police officers; offers charitable and welfare support functions. Indirectly overlaps with LSSF's mission of deputy welfare and family support.
• Fraternal Order of Police: National fraternal organization of sworn law-enforcement officers that operates charitable and community-outreach programs. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but shares mission-aligned donors with LSSF.

Direct peers

• Los Angeles Police Foundation: The largest police-focused philanthropic foundation in the Los Angeles metro, raising tax-deductible donations to fund equipment, training, and community programs for the LAPD. Highly comparable operating model to LSSF, just at citywide rather than station-level scale.
• National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund: National charity that maintains the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in D.C. and funds officer-survivor tributes, education, and research. Comparable donor-supported nonprofit serving the law-enforcement community.
• Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.): National nonprofit that provides resources to surviving families of officers killed in the line of duty, funded by donations and law-enforcement fundraisers. Shares the LSSF model of community-driven giving tied to sheriff/police welfare.
• California Peace Officers' Memorial Foundation: California statewide nonprofit that raises funds to honor and memorialize fallen officers and supports surviving families. Mirrors LSSF's mission of directing charitable dollars toward law-enforcement welfare and remembrance.
• The 100 Club of Greater Los Angeles: Regional affiliate of the national 100 Club network that provides immediate financial assistance and support to families of fallen public-safety officers. Operates in the same Greater LA market with overlapping donor base.

Broad incumbents

• California Community Foundation: Large Los Angeles-based community foundation managing endowments and grantmaking across multiple causes including public safety. Broader incumbent in the same metropolitan grantmaking market.
• United Way of Greater Los Angeles: The dominant federated-giving and grantmaking organization in the LSSF service area; collects donations and redistributes to member agencies. Closest analog to LSSF's pooled-donation model, but at vastly larger scale.

Emerging players

• Sheriff's Youth Foundation of Los Angeles County: Nonprofit affiliated with the LA County Sheriff's Department that runs youth programs and fundraising activities. Targets the same LASD community in the same market, narrower scope.
