A LEGACY OF FAMILY AND COMMUNITY

The Castellano Family Foundation (CFF) closed its operations on June 30, 2023

On behalf of the Castellano Family Foundation Trustees, I thank you for our work together over the past two decades. It has truly been an honor to be in a position to elevate and support the work of our wonderful Latinx non-profit community of Silicon Valley. As demonstrated by our Blueprint for Change, much more remains to be done in support of our community. We look forward to seeing how years of giving from the Castellano Family can inspire others in Silicon Valley to give to our community and ignite a call to action for the philanthropic sector to provide greater support for Latinx non-profit organizations.

With heartfelt gratitude

Carmela Castellano-Garcia,

President Castellano Family Foundation

In commitment to the future of the Latinx community, the Castellano Family Foundation is thrilled to open a new endowed fund with Silicon Valley Community Foundation (SVCF)—the Alcario and Carmen Castellano / SVCF Community Fund—to support the Latinx community in Santa Clara and San Mateo counties in perpetuity.

With the sunsetting of the Castellano Family Foundation, the endowment cements a partnership with the SFCV that, in effect, transfers stewardship of the Castellano Family Foundation’s work to the community itself— to help Silicon Valley carry on and grow the Castellanos’ proud tradition of investing in the region’s Latinx leaders and communities.
