We Love Foundation

What We Love Foundation does

We Love Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt umbrella foundation headquartered in Miami, Florida, founded in November 2013 originally as I Love Venezuela Foundation and rebranded in 2020 to reflect an expanded global mandate. The organization creates and channels resources to established non-profit organizations working on humanitarian projects in health, education, and social development across 21 countries in Latin America, the Caribbean, North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Its service portfolio includes medical supply distribution, brain surgery funding, ultrasound machine and ambulance procurement, school infrastructure restoration, mathematics olympiad sponsorships, computer lab creation, food drives, and clothing donations, with cumulative reported reach of 1,000,000+ beneficiaries.

Operationally, We Love Foundation evaluates and vets 250+ NGOs, maintains active partnerships with 75+ vetted NGOs (including GEM, Food for the Poor, Mission:BRAIN, Fundaprocura, and Aliadas en Cadena), and engages 100+ sponsors. The foundation employs a distinctive hands-on delivery model in which founders and ambassadors personally transport and distribute donations to beneficiary communities. Fundraising relies on individual donations processed through Classy.org and GoFundMe, annual galas at venues such as the Rubell Museum and Dupont Building, charitable shopping events with Ralph Lauren (20% of qualifying purchases, capped at $20,000 per promotional period), sporting events, and auctions including car raffles. The leadership team is led by Co-Founder & President Santi Chumaceiro alongside Co-Founder Alvaro Cardenas, Vice President Rodner Figueroa, and Mexico Ambassador Celia Daniel, supported by a staff of 12+ across functional areas including Finance, Communications, Strategic Planning, Nonprofit Liaison, and Community Engagement.

The foundation operates as a donation-funded nonprofit with no proprietary technology platform; it does not sell products or services and has no disclosed revenue figures. Geographic expansion has been incremental, anchored initially in Venezuela and extending to international chapters such as ILVF Sweden (2018) and ongoing partnerships across Latin America, with documented 2025 activity spanning Guatemala, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Uganda, Israel, and Spain.

Direct peers

• Global Empowerment Mission (GEM): Direct peer and named partner of We Love Foundation. GEM operates a similar humanitarian relief model focusing on disaster response and underserved communities in Latin America and the Caribbean, including active earthquake relief in Venezuela.
• Food for the Poor: Direct peer and active partner of We Love Foundation across 18 Latin American and Caribbean countries. Both organizations channel humanitarian aid, food, and medical supplies through faith-aligned NGO networks to underserved populations.
• Hispanic Federation: National Latino-focused grantmaking and advocacy organization headquartered in New York with strong Florida presence. Comparable as a diaspora-anchored umbrella/intermediary that channels resources to community nonprofits serving Latino populations.

Broad incumbents

• Americares: Large international health-focused humanitarian aid organization delivering medicines, medical equipment, and emergency relief globally. Comparable mission focus on medical supply distribution to underserved communities, but at materially larger scale.
• Direct Relief: Major humanitarian medical aid organization distributing pharmaceuticals and medical supplies to underserved communities globally. Overlapping focus with We Love Foundation's medical equipment distribution (ultrasound machines, wheelchairs, surgeries) at much greater scale.
• UNICEF USA: Large U.S.-based fundraising arm for UNICEF's global humanitarian and education programs for children. Comparable international scope across the same 21+ countries and overlapping focus on children's health, education, and welfare programs.
• Cáritas Internationalis: Global Catholic humanitarian confederation with national member organizations in Latin America (Cáritas Venezuela, Cáritas La Guaira). Comparable community-based aid distribution model through faith-affiliated NGO networks.
• International Medical Corps: Global humanitarian organization delivering healthcare and medical aid in conflict and disaster zones. Comparable international medical mission focus, including surgical funding programs that parallel We Love Foundation's Mission:BRAIN partnership.

Emerging players

• GiveDirectly: Tech-enabled nonprofit that channels donor funds directly to recipients in low-income countries. Adjacent in the intermediary/umbrella space but with a different model (direct cash transfers vs. NGO channeling) and stronger technology infrastructure.

Regional players

• Fundación Cardioinfantil: Colombian pediatric cardiac care foundation that has received We Love Foundation gala proceeds. Comparable mission in Latin American pediatric healthcare with overlapping donor and beneficiary base in the Andean region.
