Led Organization

We believe that knowledge is a right, not a privilege. CA Foundation empowers individuals, communities, and organizations through education, scientific research, technology access, workforce development, justice reform, and the quiet, persistent work of building human capacity — one person, one community, one generation at a time.

Communities at the Center

Every program is designed around the people who need it most — not the other way around.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Underserved Families

Low-income households, single-parent families, immigrant communities needing education, health, and economic support.

🎓

Youth & Students

K-12 students, at-risk youth, justice-involved young people, first-generation college students, and career seekers.

🎖️

Veterans & Service Members

Returning veterans, military families, service members transitioning to civilian careers and community life.

People with Disabilities

Community living support, employment services, rehabilitation research, assistive technology, and independent living.

🏠

Formerly Incarcerated

Reentry services, workforce training, family reunification, substance abuse recovery, and second chance programs.

👴

Seniors

Technology literacy, social connection, health navigation, volunteer engagement, and intergenerational programs.

🌍

Underserved Communities

Bilingual services, cultural competency, farmworker safety, immigration support, and culturally responsive programming.

🏥

Rural & Frontier Communities

Broadband access, telehealth, mobile health units, distance education, and community resilience in remote areas.

Our Programs

Eight interconnected areas of impact — each grounded in evidence, designed with communities, and measured by outcomes that matter.

📚

Education & Workforce Development

In Development

CA Foundation's education and workforce programs address the persistent opportunity gap facing low-income, minority, and rural communities. Our approach integrates STEM education, AI literacy, bilingual instruction, and career pathway development into a unified model that meets learners where they are — from K-12 students to adult career changers.

Programs are designed around the evidence that wraparound support services (mentoring, transportation, childcare) dramatically improve completion rates. Our technology partner MC Technologies LLC provides AI-powered adaptive learning platforms that personalize instruction to individual student needs, with real-time progress dashboards for instructors and program managers.

Workforce components emphasize industry-recognized certifications, employer partnerships, and job placement support with 6-month retention tracking. All curricula are available in English and Spanish, with cultural responsiveness embedded in design — not added as an afterthought.

Research basis: What Works Clearinghouse (IES) evidence standards; RAND Corporation workforce development meta-analyses; National Academies STEM education frameworks.
💡

Science & Technology

Active

Our science and technology programs bring production-grade AI capabilities to community benefit applications. Through our partnership with MC Technologies LLC, we develop open-source tools for community health analytics, environmental monitoring, and educational assessment — ensuring that cutting-edge technology serves public interest rather than remaining locked behind corporate walls.

Digital inclusion is central to this work. Underserved communities are 1.5× more likely to lack broadband access (FCC), and 61% of rural Americans live in mental health professional shortage areas (HRSA). Our programs address these gaps through digital literacy training, broadband advocacy, telehealth infrastructure, and cybersecurity education for vulnerable populations.

All technology development follows responsible AI principles: transparency, fairness, privacy protection, and human oversight. We conduct bias audits on all algorithmic tools before community deployment and maintain open documentation of our methodologies.

Research basis: National Academies AI for social good frameworks; NSF Broadening Participation in Computing research; NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
🏘️

Community Development

In Development

CA Foundation's community development programs address the economic disparities that persist in minority and low-income communities. With 37 million Americans living in poverty (Census 2023), our programs focus on building sustainable economic capacity through entrepreneurship training, financial literacy, micro-enterprise support, and housing assistance.

Our leadership brings authentic understanding of the barriers facing immigrant and minority entrepreneurs — from language access to navigating regulatory systems. Programs provide bilingual business counseling, access to capital navigation, market development support, and connections to institutional purchasing opportunities.

Community resilience building integrates food security, financial wellness, and neighborhood capacity development into a holistic model that strengthens the economic foundation of entire communities, not just individual businesses.

Research basis: SBA Office of Advocacy small business research; Federal Reserve community development publications; Aspen Institute microenterprise research.
🤝

Health & Human Services

In Development

Our health programs address the interrelated crises of substance abuse, mental health access, veteran suicide, and community health disparities. With 48,000+ drug overdose deaths annually (CDC) and 22 veterans dying by suicide daily (VA), the urgency of evidence-based prevention and intervention programs cannot be overstated.

CA Foundation develops drug-free community coalitions using the Strategic Prevention Framework (SAMHSA), community health worker programs aligned with HRSA's community health model, and trauma-informed care training for service providers. All health programs incorporate culturally responsive delivery in English and Spanish, with specific attention to health literacy levels.

Disability services focus on community living support, employment pathways, assistive technology access, and independent living — serving the 26% of U.S. adults who have a disability (CDC). Our technology partner provides health analytics dashboards that enable data-driven resource allocation and outcome tracking.

Research basis: SAMHSA's Evidence-Based Practice Resource Center; HRSA Community Health Worker Evidence Base; VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guidelines; CDC Community Health Assessment frameworks.
🌿

Environmental Protection

Proposed

CA Foundation's environmental programs focus on environmental justice, pesticide safety, climate literacy, and community-based environmental monitoring. Farmworkers experience pesticide exposure at 20× the rate of the general population (EPA), and environmental health burdens disproportionately affect low-income and minority communities.

Our programs develop bilingual pesticide safety training for agricultural workers, community air and water quality monitoring systems (leveraging MC Technologies LLC data analytics), wildfire smoke preparedness curricula for vulnerable populations, and environmental data literacy programs that empower communities to advocate for their own environmental health.

Environmental justice is a cross-cutting theme: we use EPA's EJScreen and CDC's Social Vulnerability Index to target programs where environmental health disparities are greatest, ensuring resources reach the communities most affected by pollution, climate change, and environmental degradation.

Research basis: EPA Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving model; NIEHS Community-Based Participatory Research frameworks; CDC Environmental Health tracking methodologies.
🌎

International Development

In Development

Drawing on our President's 25+ years of direct service across South America, the Philippines, and the United States, CA Foundation's international programs build technology capacity, strengthen civil society, and promote cultural exchange in developing communities. Our model emphasizes knowledge transfer and institutional strengthening — not dependency.

Programs focus on technology capacity building for local organizations, cross-border health partnerships, cultural preservation through digital documentation, and professional exchange programs that create lasting connections between U.S. and international communities. Our bilingual capabilities and deep cultural connections in Latin America enable authentic partnership rather than top-down aid delivery.

All international programs align with U.S. foreign policy objectives and Department of State priorities, including democracy strengthening, anti-corruption, public health, and people-to-people diplomacy.

Research basis: USAID Learning Lab evidence frameworks; Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs program evaluations; World Bank development effectiveness research.
⚖️

Justice & Public Safety

In Development

With 2.7 million children having an incarcerated parent (BJS) and 70% of formerly incarcerated individuals remaining unemployed after one year (BJS), the need for evidence-based reentry and justice reform programs is critical. CA Foundation develops comprehensive reentry services, restorative justice programs, victim services, and community safety initiatives grounded in data and research.

Our technology capabilities enable crime data analytics, risk assessment tools, and community safety dashboards that support law enforcement and community organizations alike. All justice technology is developed with CJIS compliance awareness and civil liberties protections built in from the design stage.

Reentry programs integrate workforce training, substance abuse recovery, family reunification, housing assistance, and mentoring into a holistic model that addresses the multiple barriers returning citizens face. Our restorative justice programs are based on validated models showing 40%+ recidivism reduction compared to traditional approaches.

Research basis: National Institute of Justice What Works in Reentry clearinghouse; OJJDP Model Programs Guide; Bureau of Justice Assistance evidence-based policing research; Campbell Collaboration restorative justice meta-analyses.
🎨

Arts & Culture

Proposed

Arts and culture programs serve as both a vehicle for community healing and a means of preserving cultural heritage that connects generations. CA Foundation develops arts education programs, digital media training, cultural preservation initiatives, and community storytelling projects that amplify voices typically absent from mainstream narratives.

Our digital heritage documentation programs use technology to preserve oral histories, traditional practices, and cultural artifacts from immigrant and indigenous communities — creating permanent digital records that serve both cultural continuity and academic research. Programs integrate creative technology (digital media production, graphic design, web development) as workforce pathways for youth.

Cross-cultural exchange programs connect U.S. communities with international partners, building mutual understanding through shared artistic practice. All arts programs emphasize participant agency and community ownership of cultural narratives.

Research basis: NEA Arts & Health evidence review; Americans for the Arts social impact research; UNESCO cultural heritage preservation frameworks; Wallace Foundation arts education research.
🏡

Elderly Care & Senior Services

Active

CA Foundation directly supports elderly homes and provides comprehensive elder care services to aging populations in South Florida and internationally. Our programs address the full continuum of senior needs: from independent living support and aging-in-place services to skilled nursing coordination, nutrition programs, companionship, and end-of-life dignity.

In Broward County, 18% of the population is over 65 — and growing. Many seniors face isolation, food insecurity, and barriers to accessing healthcare, particularly in immigrant communities where language and cultural differences compound these challenges. Our bilingual team delivers culturally responsive elder care that respects the dignity, traditions, and preferences of each individual.

Through our technology partnership with MC Technologies LLC, we deploy AI-powered health monitoring, fall detection, medication management, and social connectivity tools that help seniors remain safely in their homes longer — reducing costly institutionalization while improving quality of life. Our international elder care programs extend these services to underserved communities in South America.

Research basis: ACL Older Americans Act data; AARP Livability Index; CDC Healthy Aging indicators; Florida DOEA Community Care for the Elderly program data.
👶

Child Welfare — Orphanage Support & Disabled Children

Active

CA Foundation directly funds and supports orphanages, foster care programs, and specialized centers for disabled and mentally impaired children — both domestically and internationally. Our president Carolina Aramburo has spent 25 years building and sustaining orphanages in Colombia, establishing care centers for children with disabilities in the Philippines, and supporting foster youth in the United States.

Our domestic programs focus on three areas: direct material and financial support to group homes and foster care organizations, wraparound services for children aging out of the foster system, and specialized programming for children with developmental disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and mental health challenges. We partner with licensed clinical professionals — psychologists, LCSWs, behavioral specialists, and special care nurses — to deliver evidence-based interventions.

Internationally, we maintain ongoing partnerships with orphanages and children's centers in Colombia and the Philippines, providing funding for nutrition, education materials, healthcare access, and infrastructure improvements. Our technology partner MC Technologies LLC enables remote monitoring of program outcomes and transparent fund tracking across borders.
