Los Angeles, CA — The EmBrase Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth through education and the arts, proudly announces a continued expansion of its community impact, having awarded more than $133,000 in scholarships to inner-city Los Angeles youth pursuing higher education.

Since its founding in 2014, the Foundation has remained committed to honoring the legacy of Jose “Jojo” Estrada Jr. by investing in young people and ensuring access to educational opportunities that help develop future leaders. In addition to scholarship support, EmBrase has contributed over $32,000 to arts programs that serve youth across Los Angeles County, strengthening access to creative expression and community-based arts education.

“Our mission has always been rooted in opportunity, education, and the belief that every young person deserves support in pursuing their dreams,” said representatives of the EmBrase Foundation. “These milestones reflect not just numbers, but the lives and futures we are helping to shape.”

Through its annual fundraising events and community initiatives, including its signature Annual Gala and 5K fundraiser in Lincoln Heights, EmBrase continues to expand its reach and deepen its investment in youth development programs across Los Angeles.

As the organization grows, its mission remains unchanged: to uplift underserved youth, expand access to education and the arts, and carry forward a legacy of empowerment and opportunity.
