Inspired by his son graduating from one of the nation’s top law schools, Tapia established a non-profit company, the Bay Area Gardeners’ Foundation, and recruited a dozen other gardeners to raise money for college scholarships for low-income families. This year, they awarded fifteen scholarships to deserving college-bound students.
The Bay Area Gardeners’ Foundation has provided scholarships to students who have gone on to Mills College, UC Santa Cruz, Chico State University and Foothills College.
Catalino Tapia has received numerous honors and awards for his dedication to community service and education including the Jefferson Award and the Local Hero Congressional Award.

About Us
Posted on 15. Jan, 2009 by admin.
Bay Area Gardener’s Foundation is a non-profit organization committed to providing financial support to eligible economically disadvantaged students.
The Bay Area Gardeners Foundation’s primary purpose and objectives are to promote the educational attainment of children in the San Francisco Bay Area by among other things, conducting public discussions, groups, forums, panels, lecturers, and workshops on pursuing a higher education.
The foundation plans on awarding at least ten scholarships per academic year and two special scholarships to deserving students whom are academics standouts and who value and are committed to community service.
The Foundation’s goal is to instill in the scholarship recipients a sense of pride and spirit of giving back to their community in a similar fashion that the Foundation has supported their goal of graduating from a university.
We can not do this alone. If you are interested in knowing about our Foundation and interested in supporting our community programs, we invite you to contact us.
