Mission
Mandela Partners is a nonprofit organization that works in partnership with local residents, family farmers, and community-based businesses to improve health, create wealth, and build assets through local food enterprises in limited-resource communities.

So proud to serve not just our community, but also to support the power of food to transform lives. I’m honored to sit on the board of Mandela Partners, a Bay Area nonprofit dedicated to building local food equity and economic opportunity. What inspires me most is the way Mandela Partners doesn’t just talk about food justice — they live it, by supporting small farmers, uplifting entrepreneurs of color, and ensuring access to healthy food in communities that need it most. Their work creates pathways for dignity, opportunity, and health through something as universal as food. I back Mandela Partners because they’re building a more just and connected food system, one that reflects the values of care, culture, and community.
Fund the Future: Empower Food Entrepreneurs
Your support will help Mandela Partners reach their $100,000 funding goal for their Food Business Program, which trains, supports, and empowers 50 food entrepreneurs each year. These entrepreneurs are the backbones of their neighborhoods, and your support will create sustainable economic opportunities that strengthen entire communities.
Every donation has a huge impact, especially as food-based funding is being cut from the federal level down. A $500 donation covers seed funding for an entrepreneur going through the Food Business Pathways program. A $5,000 donation covers their funding for both the program and one-on-one coaching. A $25,000 donation covers one full year of operating a kiosk at the E14th Eatery + Kitchen.
