The Garces Foundation is dedicated to helping the immigrant community access the educational, healthcare, and food resources they need. By offering multiple programs aimed at immigrant populations – workforce training classes, community health days, and English classes – they are breaking down the barriers faced by people with limited English speaking abilities.
Robert Kurzban has represented the team as Grants Coordinator and Director of Development since 2020, and is experienced in securing funding for projects that make an impact. Kurzban was selected to receive the Hero Award in 2021 on behalf of the Garces Foundation.
