Our Work
Creating Opportunity. Strengthening Communities. Investing in Potential.
The Robertson Legacy Foundation turns belief into action through scholarships, educational opportunities, community investment, and support for organizations helping people move forward.
Scholarships & Education
Education can change the trajectory of a life. We invest in students and educational programs that expand access, encourage ambition, and help young people move from possibility to opportunity.
Cristo Rey High School
Supporting student scholarships and expanding access to educational opportunity
DREAMer's RoadMap
The Robertson Legacy Foundation provides financial support to DREAMer’s RoadMap, helping expand access to higher education for undocumented, DACA, and first-generation students. Our connection also extends beyond giving: Angela has shared the stage with founder Sarahi Espinoza Salamanca at a Silicon Valley Latinas event, reflecting a shared commitment to education, representation, and creating pathways to opportunity.

Community investment
Strengthening the Organizations Doing the Work
We believe lasting change is often created by organizations already deeply connected to the communities they serve. Our role is to strengthen that work through financial support, leadership, partnership, and personal engagement.

The Robertson Legacy Foundation provides financial support to community-focused efforts that create opportunity and strengthen families. Angela Robertson also serves as an advisor to the Martha Niño Foundation, contributing her experience and perspective in support of its broader mission.
Leadership & Opportunity
Investing in People Who Will Lift Others
Opportunity grows when people have access not only to resources, but also to mentorship, experience, and people willing to open doors. We invest our time, experience, and financial support in organizations developing the next generation of leaders.
Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE)
Angela has engaged directly with SHPE communities in both San Francisco and at UC Santa Cruz, sharing her experience and perspective with students and emerging professionals. In 2026, the Robertson Legacy Foundation also contributed $2,000 to help two students attend SHPE’s annual conference, expanding their access to professional development, networking, and career opportunities.

Joel and Angela have spoken with the ALPFA chapter at San José State University, investing their time directly with students and emerging leaders through mentorship, professional insight, and conversations about education, careers, leadership, and opportunity.
Meeting immediate needs
Showing Up When Help Is Needed
Not every need is about long-term opportunity. Sometimes meaningful impact means responding to what people need right now. Through direct giving and in-kind donations, we support organizations helping individuals and families meet immediate needs with dignity.
CHAM — Homeless Ministry
