Ahmanson, William — Ahmanson Foundation
President
Ahmanson Foundation
THE LATEST: The Ahmanson Foundation was established in 1952 by financier Howard F. Ahmanson, William's great uncle, who was instrumental in the creation and launch of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Over the past 60 years, the foundation has donated more than $130 million worth of Italian, French, Dutch, Flemish and Spanish art. The foundation made waves in February by declaring it would cease making gifts of art to LACMA because current renovations may result in less gallery space for pieces from the museum&s permanent collections.
BACKGROUND: The Ahmanson Foundation supports arts and humanities, education, and health and human services in L.A. County. Before joining the organization, Ahmanson worked in banking and wealth management at Union Bank and Home Savings of America. In 2018 he received the Access to Justice Award from the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles and in 2017 he was granted the Cardinal's Award from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. He serves on the boards of trustees at Caltech, Center Theater Group, LACMA and Loyola Marymount University.
