When evaluating projects for support, the Leticia & Eduardo Azar Foundation prioritizes three core principles: impact, transparency, and people.
Growing up in Argentina amid chronic economic instability, Leticia and Eduardo Azar developed a deep desire for a better future. They also witnessed the power of local philanthropists investing in local causes. In time, they were blessed with success and have since dedicated themselves to giving others an equal chance. Rooted in the principles of Judaism—solidarity, charity, empathy, and neighborly love—they embraced social justice as a central purpose of their lives, recognizing it as a fundamental human obligation to uphold fairness and integrity.
The Leticia & Eduardo Azar Foundation is a self-funded charity and humanitarian organization focused on breaking the cycle of despair through three key pillars: essential first needs, safety and stability, and direction and purpose. Leticia and Eduardo deeply appreciate the profound meaning of the Hebrew word “Tzedakah,” which embodies both the pursuit of justice and the act of sharing the blessings bestowed upon them by God with others.
Their philanthropic mission is to empower high-impact projects guided by transparency and driven by passionate leadership. Their giving strategy prioritizes maximizing the impact of every dollar, ensuring responsible fund management, and supporting initiatives led by individuals who combine expertise with genuine dedication. Through this approach, they strive to foster sustainable, meaningful change in every project they support.
Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, introduced by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 work A Theory of Human Motivation, explains that human needs are structured in a hierarchical pyramid, where basic needs must be met before higher-level needs can be addressed.
At the Leticia & Eduardo Azar Foundation, our primary focus is ensuring that essential needs are met, laying the foundation for survival and stability. We also strive to create a safe and secure environment. Finally, we support individuals in pursuing higher-level goals, helping them find direction and purpose in their lives. This holistic approach empowers people to reach their fullest potential.
