The Maestro Cares Foundation (MCF) improves the quality of life of disadvantaged children and communities in Latin America and the United States by providing housing, educational programming and the essential resources to support their growth and development. Through these efforts, the foundation strengthens communities and helps children become tomorrow’s leaders.
Our vision is to help disadvantaged children and communities in Latin America and the United States by creating healthy and safe environments for them to live, learn and play.
The Maestro Cares Foundation, co-founded by Marc Anthony and Henry Cárdenas in 2012, is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children and communities in Latin America and the United States. The foundation provides essential resources such as housing, education, and healthcare, collaborating with local organizations and governments for sustainable impact.
Through our projects, we invest in children’s futures by providing essential funding for education, medical care, and community development.
At Maestro Cares Foundation, we believe education has the power to transform lives and open doors to brighter futures. Through partnerships with universities and individual scholarships, we are committed to supporting socially conscious and academically focused students who face financial barriers to attending college in the United States, Puerto Rico, or Latin America. Our scholarship program empowers students to pursue their educational dreams and make a lasting impact in their communities.
