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 raising financial support to help provide at-risk youths, with leadership training, educational and sports funds/scholarships, backpacks, school supplies, computers, holiday dinners/gifts, from vulnerable communities in Contra Costa & Alameda Counties.

Our History

The Liza Maribel Foundation started in 2014 and was finally founded in 2019 by Liza and her son Nico. Since 2019, our yearly programs have supported more than 1500 families across the Bay Area with the main focus on individuals from Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.

We have provided scholarships and grants to the youths, in support to their educational goals, and also to single parents that want to start a new career and needed the skill sets to achieve their goal. We provide grants to individuals (primarily women) struggling with serious life threatening illness, like cancer, to alleviate the costs of their medical bills. Most of all, we focus on supporting and uplifting individuals from underrepresented communities that have been marginalized by abuse/discrimination, health challenges, and other disempowering disabilities by providing a boost of inspiration through our coaching and training.

Liza cares deeply about others less fortunate because at some point in life she had to face the challenges of being a single parent and homeless while struggling with her own sets of health challenges. Her resiliency helped her developed a more compassionate way of living, and by helping others overcome some of their challenges, she has been able to grow into being a thoughtful and empathic leader.

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower and uplift at-risk youths and women who have been victims of domestic violence by providing comprehensive support, and opportunities for healing and growth.
We are dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment where individuals can rebuild their lives, achieve their full potential, and thrive with dignity and respect.

Our Vision

We envision a world of Empowerment, Joy, and Possibilities for our youths and battered women. Through our programs and services, we aim to break the cycles of disadvantage and violence, foster resilience, and build a more equitable and just society for all.
We focus on empowering teens to become their true authentic heroes through our Teen’s Leadership Program – Break the Normal. Be Victorious!
