Our Story

A Community Bet on
Its Own Children

Founded in 2015 by a group of East Los Angeles educators, parents, and community advocates, Alonzo was born from a simple truth: talented Hispanic students were falling behind — not because of their potential, but because of missing resources.

What started as a backpack drive serving 80 families at Sacred Heart Community Center now reaches over 1,200 students annually across California, Texas, Arizona, and Florida.

The Alonzo scholarship changed everything for me. I was the first in my family to attend college, and I could not have done it without this community believing in me and investing in my future.

Hear From Those We Serve

★★★★★

“The back-to-school kit meant I started 8th grade with new pencils, a graphing calculator, and a clean backpack. My teacher noticed. It sounds small — it changed everything for me.”

“My daughter wanted to play soccer for three years but we couldn't afford the registration fee. Alonzo made it happen. She scored two goals in her first game. I cried the whole time.”
