Jonathan Club
Jonathan Club is a social club with two California locations—one in Downtown Los Angeles and the other abutting the beach in Santa Monica. The club is routinely ranked as one of the top clubs in the world by Platinum Clubs of America. Membership is by invitation only. As of 2024[update] the initiation fee, which the club does not publicize, is around $50,000 with monthly membership dues in addition to this to remain in good standing.
The club has two founding dates set in stone at the entrance to its Downtown Los Angeles building — 1894 (when it was a political club) and 1895 (when it segued into a non-political social club and was chartered by State of California). The club bases its anniversaries on the June 8, 1895 date.
For much of its history, the club was accused of discrimination.[citation needed] In 1965, the club was charged with "anti-Negro" and "anti-Jew" bias and a complaint was raised that the membership dues of Mayor Sam Yorty were being paid by city taxpayers to support such discrimination. Yorty told a news conference he knew nothing about such a circumstance. In 1975, the club did not admit women as members. Women guests were "limited to certain floors, dining rooms and entrances", though later policy changes allowed women to "use the main elevator and lobby" at the club. It voted to admit women in 1987, and today has more than 650 female members.
The club provides dining, events, and athletic and wellness programs for members. Jonathan Club partners with the Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation and provides volunteers and funding to civic organization L.A. Works to combat homelessness.
The Jonathan Club operates under laws for 501(c)(7) Social and Recreation Clubs. In 2025 it reported $39,537,990 in total revenue and $74,314,831 in total assets. The Jonathan Club Charitable Fund is a 501(c)(3) Public Charity. In 2024 it reported total revenue of $672,720 and total assets of $4,919,373.
Prominent members include:
In 1924, the Club opened its present location at 545 S. Figueroa Street, one block west of the Los Angeles Public Library.
Since 1927, the club has had a beach location in Santa Monica, in a building designed by architect Gene Verge, Sr.
