The Cesar Chavez Foundation is committed to serving the long-term needs of Latinos and working families, and we are able to do this because we are self-sustainable—a value driven by Cesar Chavez himself, whose life’s work was to encourage self-sustainability in individuals and communities. We raise funds through several social enterprises, which simultaneously provide crucial services to our target communities.

Cesar’s legacy around self-sustainability is imbued in the entire organization: our leaders and staff see themselves as social entrepreneurs invested in providing crucial and transformative community services while remaining sustainable, strategic and fiscally responsible.
