Excellence in teaching. 

Equity in classrooms. 

Belief in all students.

The Martinez Foundation was founded by Holli and Edgar Martinez in 2008.

We believe every student regardless of race, ethnicity or socio-economic status deserves access to an excellent education. The consequences of the status quo are economically, socially and morally impermissible.

Our mission is to prepare and support diverse and highly-qualified teachers who will raise expectations, accelerate learning and close the achievement gap by granting scholarships and promoting innovative social justice curriculum.
