What We Do

The Liza Maribel Foundation is a 501(c3) IRS approved non-profit organization created to empower individuals and organizations to make a significant difference in the quality of life of people often forgotten. We are dedicated to specifically raise financial support to help provide single parent families with grocery necessities, scholarships for education opportunities, and grants to help alleviate any medical bills or special treatments. We thrive at creating positive changes in the lives of children, single parents, the homeless, and all who need a boost envisioning a happier way of living. We also offer yearly grants to various organizations in the Bay Area (Alameda County CASA, First Presbyterian Food Ministry of Oakland and CEP and A New Day for Children) that provide similar support to youth, women in transition homes, homeless teenagers and rescued victims of sex trafficking.

Founder of The Liza Maribel Foundation Inc.

Our History

Liza Maribel Foundation was founded in 2014 by Liza and her son Nico, and it has provided food, educational funds, and school supplies to more than 800 families around the Oakland/San Francisco Bay Area. The foundation focuses on supporting and uplifting under-represented communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ, Women in transition homes, and single-parent households) that have been marginalized by abuse/discrimination, health challenges, and other disempowering disabilities.

Liza cares deeply about others less fortunate than herself because at some point in life she had to face the challenges of being a single parent and homeless while struggling with cancer. Because of this, she developed a passion for helping others and getting involved with various organizations in the Bay Area with a similar mission.
