As La Maestra Family Clinic’s non-medical services continue to grow, including access to nutritious food, safe affordable housing, self-supporting jobs, job training and continuing education opportunities, staff and board members start a separate nonprofit called La Maestra Foundation in 2003. La Maestra Foundation, Inc. is incorporated as an independent nonprofit in 2005. As part of furthering its mission, La Maestra Foundation also provides small grants to ethnic and community-based organizations to support infrastructure development and needed services which no other organization provided.
