About Us

The Quixote Center is a multi-issue social justice organization founded in 1976. We work alongside partner organizations to bring about lasting systemic change in the Americas. We stand in solidarity and friendship with those who seek to improve the lives of the very poor, and provide guidance, technical assistance, and funding to support their work and allow their movements and programs to mature and take hold. To accomplish this, we rely on the support of likeminded people who recognize the need for structural changes in an increasingly unequal global society. As we look to the future, we remain committed to developing sustainable programs and social enterprises that address the needs of the very poor. Our current focus is on our development work with our international partners in Haiti and Nicaragua as well as addressing domestic injustices in the United States.
