Mission & Vision?
Empowering Leaders of Color, Our Mission and Vision
Founded by philanthropists Liz and Don Thompson in 2014, The CAFE Group (Cleveland Avenue Foundation for Education) stands as a beacon of innovation and inclusivity in philanthropy. We are deeply committed to empowering leaders of color, valuing their unique insights and the vital roles they play in their communities.
Our approach includes offering significant mentorship, expansive networking opportunities, and transformative funding through our initiatives.
Our vision extends beyond financial support—we are cultivating a new generation of social impact leaders. By integrating diverse voices and experiences, we are setting new standards for how philanthropy and education can uplift everyone.
