About the Foundation

When evaluating projects to support, the Leticia & Eduardo Azar Foundation focuses on three core principles: impact, transparency, and people.

About Us

Growing up in Argentina amid chronic economic instability, Leticia and Eduardo Azar felt a thirst for a better future. They also discovered the power of local philanthropists investing in local causes. In time, they were blessed with success and have since turned their focus to giving others an equal chance. Nurtured by the principles of Judaism, including solidarity, charity, empathy, and neighborly love, they embraced the concept of social justice as a central purpose of their lives, recognizing it as the fundamental obligation of every human being to uphold fairness and integrity.

The Leticia & Eduardo Azar Foundation is a self-funded charity and humanitarian organization. We focus on lifting people out of the cycle of despair in three ways: essential first needs, safety and stability, and direction and purpose. Leticia and Eduardo deeply appreciate the profound meaning of the Hebrew word “Tzedakah,” which encompasses the pursuit of justice and the act of sharing the blessings bestowed upon them by God with others.

Leticia and Eduardo Azar’s philanthropic mission is to empower high-impact projects that are guided by transparency and driven by passionate leadership. Their giving strategy prioritizes maximizing the impact of every dollar, ensuring funds are managed responsibly, 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.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, proposed by Abraham Maslow in his 1943 work “A Theory of Human Motivation,” explains that human needs are organized in a hierarchical pyramid. Basic needs must be met before higher-level needs can be addressed.

At the Leticia and Eduardo Azar Foundation, our main focus is ensuring that essential needs are met, providing the foundation for survival and stability. We also work to create a safe and secure environment. Finally, we help people pursue higher-level goals, finding direction and purpose in their lives. This approach empowers individuals to reach their fullest potential.
