How do non-profits survive? In part, with help from donors like Dr. Faustino Bernadett. His main mission is to support organizations that enhance underprivileged people’s access to education and healthcare/welfare or enrich our understanding of our many cultures’ contributions to the United States.
So many entities fit into these categories it’s hard to pick just one or two! Dr. Bernadett and his wife, Dr. Martha Molina Bernadett, have trouble deciding, so they give to many.
Some donations are larger than others, and the receiving organizations vary yearly across the landscape of changing global and local contexts. Here are a few entities that Dr. Bernadett has bolstered or supported recently.

We enjoy giving to and working with entities dedicated to uplifting these worthy causes and the people they serve.”
