The Foundation was established in 1981 as a product of the late Dr. B. Roberto Cruz’s vision of providing quality education and support for all under served learners, with a focus on Latino students. Committed to its mission to identify, understand, and address the Latino education achievement gap through innovation and collaboration, the Foundation continually funds and provides resources to local and national initiatives undertaking educational issues facing minorities in innovative ways. Since our founding in 1981, The Foundation for Hispanic Education (TFHE) grew from a two room building in Oakland, California, to an 11-acre campus in East San Jose. Chosen for its proximity, to the third largest Hispanic population in California, the San Jose campus features a three- story, 65,000 square foot learning facility with 18 classrooms, two computer laboratories, 2 science laboratories, a library, a Student Academic Assistance Center, administrative offices, a plaza/amphitheater, and athletic fields.
