“I believe education is critical to the success of our society as a whole. Being of Latin origin, I want to be sure that our ethnic group is part of that success, and if I can help in any way to be a part of that, I want to participate.”

As prominent members of the Latinx community in Los Angeles, META’s founders set out to create a transformative organization after facing adversities of their own, including challenging and overcoming generations of educational neglect and bias. By forming a nonprofit with the singular goal of clearing these obstacles for others, the META Foundation empowers members of the community to give back and uplift others through charitable donations, both financial and as mentors.
