About Us
The Mission of the Encantado Foundation is to stimulate the development of hire-ready candidates for STEM-related positions, particularly in the areas of cyber security, application developing and management, and IT operations. We will seek to foster the professional development of individuals who wish to be a part of the digital workforce — including those from underrepresented communities in tech careers such as women, people of color, native people, and people with physical limitations — while also reshaping the way that workforce resources are acquired by technology-related employers.
Core Values
As a philanthropic organization, the philosophy behind our giving is based is a spirit of reciprocity, to benefit individuals and their families as well as the communities in which Foundation giving will take place. We express this philosophy through the core values of: Inclusion and Opportunity for all; Collaboration, and Accountability.
