The Castañeda Kids Foundation (TCKF) is a 501c (3) non-profit organization dedicated to providing aid to underserved families in El Salvador.

TCKF’s origins began through the Carlos and Marina Castañeda Foundation, an organization started in 1985, which provided educational scholarships to children in Soyapango, one of the more poverty-stricken regions of the country. Shortly after, the foundation also began providing annual holiday food baskets to elderly members of the community.

TCKF’s scope and reach has grown substantially. In 2014, TCKF spearheaded the start of an annual Medical Mission to provide much needed medical support to thousands of families in rural communities. The organization’s initiatives have also expanded to include sports and music programs for boys and girls with the goal of broadening their education and keeping them out of gangs. Other donations help support children on the autism spectrum.
