Chavez Family Foundation

The Chavez Family Foundation’s mission is to maximize human potential and promote equal opportunity by investing in programs at the intersection of immigration, education, and entrepreneurship.

We engage with organizations led by inspiring, entrepreneurial pathfinders who boldly challenge the status quo and deliver tangible results. We look for teams that prove, execute, and grow. We steer clear of those that oversee and administer. Our ‘firestarter’ approach is to support high-performing organizations seeking to increase their scale and impact through the introduction of targeted initiatives or amplification of what they know is working.

We leverage alternative investment vehicles and remain open to exploring new and innovative ways to support the organizations we are privileged to serve. We will prioritize work in the 9-county Bay Area, although we’re open to supporting some work with a California or even national reach.
