The Niles Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to empowering vulnerable, historically disinvested, and underrepresented communities across California through education and environment.
Sponsor, donate, or volunteer for food access, clean energy, transportation, to empower local and regional community needs.

The Niles Foundation is preparing to launch the EVClean15, a new zero‑emission, all‑electric community micro‑transit program offering both on‑demand and route‑based mobility access. The program will provide residents free or low-cost clean transportation to crucial destinations, including hospitals, grocery stores, recreational spaces, pharmacies, schools, and more, and is coming soon to Council District 15.
EVCLEAN15 is revolutionizing transportation in Los Angeles Council District 15, where frontline communities face some of California’s highest pollution burdens and deepest mobility inequities. Through over 1,002 in-person surveys conducted across 600+ days,
After successfully completing our community needs assessment (CTNA) last year, the EVClean15 will publish its findings this year in collaboration with UC Davis and the Feminist Research Institute (FRI).
This program integrates smart routing, community engagement activities, and early‑user incentives to support California's most impacted and vulnerable populations.
RIDE THE EVCLEAN15!
It's Free, Clean, and All-Electric!

The Niles Foundation’s Halo Food Project (HFP), in partnership with CDFA, USDA, and RFI, is pioneering an EV‑powered, clean‑tech Mobile Grocery Store that brings healthy, high‑quality farm-direct foods directly to underserved neighborhoods. This climate‑smart, zero‑emissions model strengthens food access while improving environmental health.
Supported by the HFFI Initiative, RFI, and USDA, our mobile stores provide SNAP and EBT access, ensuring every household—regardless of income—can purchase fresh, nutritious foods with dignity and ease.
This innovative approach delivers an immediate food‑security solution for more than 1.3 million residents across Los Angeles and South LA, prioritizing very low‑income, underserved, and BIPOC communities most impacted by food deserts and environmental burdens.

The Yard2Farms initiative transforms underutilized and abandoned spaces across South Los Angeles into thriving urban farms, edible gardens, rooftop farms, and open green spaces. Our mission is to strengthen BIPOC community food security, create sustainable green spaces, and promote environmental education, health, and wellness.
Through this project, we revitalize outdoor areas in neighborhoods with high economic need, turning them into vibrant hubs for fresh food access and community engagement. We also provide fresh food donations to homeless missions, families in need, and residents across Los Angeles.
Thanks to our generous supporters!
