Our Mission

In the winter of 2019, Raza Collective began as a Los Angeles-based streetwear apparel and media company, founded on the principles of storytelling and entrepreneurship. Our products celebrated hustle, financial and educational success. In 2020, we launched our first project, which sold out within 48 hours, donating 10% of the profits to causes we cared about.

Inspired by the impact of our donations, the founders of Raza Collective decided to reinvent the organization as a non-profit, fully dedicated to giving back to the Hispanic and Latino community.
