Cesar Chavez Foundation

Fifty years ago, civil rights leader Cesar Chavez ignited a movement that would transform communities by championing the rights of farmworkers, Latinos and working families. He believed it was important to support them through numerous programs including the burial program, credit union and cooperative gas stations.Today, the Cesar Chavez Foundation (CCF) carries on Cesar’s legacy by growing and adapting into a successful group of high-performing social enterprises that support Latinos and working families, inspiring and transforming cross-generational communities from rural to urban areas throughout the Southwest. CCF serves hundreds of thousands of individuals through affordable housing development, education, broadcast communications and the National Chavez Center. With more than 600 employees across six states, CCF provides crucial community services while remaining sustainable, strategic and fiscally responsible.
