Who We Are
The Foundation
Corazon Sanchez Atayde believed that wealth must be shared. Her generosity wasn’t calculated nor planned, her contributions never came out in society pages or press releases – she gave instinctively and willingly to those who needed it. She would readily support causes she believed would make a difference in the life of others and convinced her friends and family to do the same.
Inspired by this, the family decided to create the Corazon Atayde Memorial Foundation (CSAMF) in honor of their deceased mother. Through the foundation, the family not only seeks to honor Cora’s memory but rather continue her legacy of giving.
OUR VISION is to channel and magnify generosity.
OUR MISSION
is to make it easier for people to help by providing reliable and trustworthy avenues for generosity.
