Our Foundation
At the Mariano Rivera Foundation, our work is dedicated to providing children from impoverished families with life skills that will set them on the path to a brighter future.
Founded in 1998 by Mariano and Clara Rivera, along with our caring volunteers and generous donors we have strengthened communities and changed lives through college scholarships, back-to- school events. With access to STEM learning opportunities, mentorship programs, life skills and vocational training, students are prepared for college and empowered to enter the workforce with determination to succeed in high-demand positions.
