The Ceres Foundation

About Us

We are a family foundation dedicated to strengthening communities and improving the life outcomes of disadvantaged youth and their families in Washington, DC, Los Angeles and Orange County, California, and Western Massachusetts.

Our Guiding Values

We believe in building trusting relationships by deploying a collaborative approach and adopting a long-term perspective. We support innovative models that change individual lives by expanding opportunities for disadvantaged youth and vulnerable families with a focus on sustained impact. We strive to foster continuous improvement for ourselves and our grant partners and seek to get to know and understand the people and communities in which we invest. We believe we all have a role to play in advancing racial and social equity.
