Our Goal & Our Mission

The Fondo is a non-profit dedicated to expanding educational opportunities for remarkable, underserved students whose families, schools, and communities need additional resources to help these students fulfill their promise.

Here is what we do...

  • Offer what many consider a basic rights access to quality education
  • Provide grants so children can attend schools where they can grow personally and intellectually and hopefully contribute to their communities in a way that would not be possible without that education
  • Recognize that escaping extreme poverty is not accomplished by only sitting in a classroom but requires out of school intervention as well
  • Maintain intensive relationships with constituent families to address needs, provide support services, and work to ensure successful outcomes for each family
