Our Mission

META (Making Education The Answer) is a nonprofit organization that provides opportunities to the underserved Latinx student community in Southern California through college scholarships and educational mentorship. In California, only 18% of Latinx adults hold a college degree. Financial difficulty is the most common barrier to entry. 

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, 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 financially and as mentors. 

These acts of generosity along with our strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations and partners allow us to rewrite the story to create a new future where Latinx students enjoy the same educational freedoms and possibilities as others. META’s vision is a level playing field where Latinx students are provided clear paths to success in business and community leadership.
