Since our founding in 2015, Bella CF has evolved with a deep commitment to where we can make the greatest impact—supporting post-secondary education, advancing social-emotional learning, and strengthening communities. Over the past ten years, we’ve awarded hundreds of scholarships to first-generation and under-resourced students across the San Francisco Bay Area and Nepal.

As we look to the future, our focus is shifting toward a younger generation. While we will continue to offer a limited number of scholarships, we recognize that the most pressing global challenges—climate change, mass migration, the rise of advanced technologies like OpenAI, widening inequality, and access to clean air and water—require early, inclusive, and holistic educational approaches.

To truly address these interconnected issues, we must begin with our youth. They are not only the most impacted by these changes, but also the ones who will lead the solutions. We believe education rooted in collaboration, equity, and environmental stewardship is essential to preparing the next generation of changemakers.

Going forward, Bella CF will partner with organizations that uplift vulnerable communities, protect our planet, and create inclusive opportunities for all. We will continue to champion social-emotional development as a vital tool for building empathy, resilience, and the collective mindset needed to solve complex problems—together.
