CTSF SUPPORTS COLLEGE EDUCATION
Your contribution directly supports students across Santa Clara, San Mateo, San Francisco, and Alameda Counties by funding key program elements. This includes scholarships, a technology stipend, and customized workshops designed to address academic, professional, and personal well-being. These resources are essential for helping students meet their educational goals, persist in their studies, and ultimately, graduate.
CTSF is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, Tax ID# 81-0579134. All charitable gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law.
We welcome and appreciate one-time or recurring credit or debit card donations.
The Catalino Tapia Scholarship Foundation relies on individual donors to help sustain and grow our programs. Please consider sponsoring a scholarship in the name of a loved one, just like these supporters have done. For details, contact Yanet Gutierrez info-ctsf@ctsf.org

Giving Circle
A giving circle is a group of people with shared values that come together and pool their donations to contribute to a student’s educational goal. Anyone can start a giving circle and encourage friends, colleagues, family members, or membership organizations to provide a scholarship to a deserving first-generation college student. Members of giving circles can opt-in to receive an annual update letter from a CTSF scholar. Generally, giving circles commit to raising $2,000 (or more!) as a group to provide funds for a $2,000 scholarship and, if possible, a new laptop computer for scholars in need.
Our team can support you in attracting member-donors. For example:
- A CTSF board member or scholar can join a virtual event to address people in your network for 10 – 20 minutes.
- We can supply you with an inspiring video or collateral that highlights our hardworking scholars or founder, Catalino Tapia.
- We encourage those who want to start a giving circle to consider creating an online campaign to reach others in your network. We have sample language at Mightycause.org
