Our Purpose

HOSANNA FOUNDATION (Hosanna International Festivals Foundation) is a California non-profit, 501(C)3 organization that was founded in 2006 for the purpose of organizing artistic, cultural, educational, human-development programs and events to benefit cross-cultural communities in Southern California. We presently work in conjunction with local community organizations, churches and church groups, schools and other non-profit organizations in the production and promotion of classes, workshops, expos, conventions, courses, books and educational material that attempt to educate, counsel and better prepare children and youth from broken families, women transitioning from domestic violence or criminal backgrounds, youth and adults seeking rehabilitation from substance abuse, and a number of other social ills.

History, Mission and Goals

Historically, Hosanna Foundation has offered an average of 125 -150 events or programs per year free-of charge, in partnership with diverse community and religious organizations, combining experienced personnel and facilities, reaching out to thousands of participants of low-income levels and diverse cultural and language groups. Hosanna Foundation is in constant need of grants of $5,000-$10,000 each in order to fund each of these events that encompass group classes (English for Spanish speakers, parenting, tutoring, music, arts and crafts, social studies and spirituality), counseling, family orientations, access to community resources and services, networking, job placement and other urgent needs.
