Maestro Cares Foundation is dedicated to creating a future where every child has access to the resources and opportunities they need to thrive. As a leading advocate for children and families across Latin America and the U.S., we are a driving force for positive change, connecting philanthropy with impactful solutions.
Since our founders, international pop icon Marc Anthony and prominent entrepreneur Henry Cárdenas, began this journey in 2012, Maestro Cares Foundation has partnered with generous donors, visionary leaders, and compassionate communities to build sustainable projects for disadvantaged youth and their communities in the areas of education and youth development, pediatric health and wellness, and community development and supportive housing.
Through our expertise and deep commitment to community development, we invest in infrastructure, offer scholarships, and collaborate with organizations to meet the most pressing challenges children and families face.
Education and Youth Development
We actively support future leaders by improving the quality and accessibility of education. We fund academic scholarships and invest in high-quality curriculums and school renovations.
We aim to prepare students to achieve their career goals, attain financial security, and give back to their communities.
Pediatric Health and Wellness
We improve the overall well-being of children with severe medical conditions such as cancer and kidney disease. Most specialists are concentrated in cities, so children who live in rural areas often do not have access to appropriate medical care. We fund the construction of temporary homes for children and their families to stay in while they are receiving care at a nearby hospital. We also invest in cutting-edge medical equipment and hospital renovations.
Community Development and Supportive Housing
We fund community development and supportive housing so that all children can have a safe place to call home. By funding the construction of orphanages, foster homes, and community centers,
we provide spaces for communities to strengthen relationships and access therapeutic, academic, and interpersonal resources, creating a sense of belonging.
Changing Lives, Building Dreams.
Maestro Cares Foundation improves the quality of life of disadvantaged children and communities in Latin America and the United States. We do so by providing housing, educational programming and the essential resources to support their growth and development. Through our efforts, we’re strengthening communities and helping children become tomorrow’s leaders.
