The Anna Maria Arias Foundation

Mission Statement

Since 2002, the Anna Maria Arias Foundation has been recognizing and honoring Latina entrepreneurial success, showcasing the most successful Latina business owners in the United States. The Foundation was created to recognize the accomplishments of Anna Maria Arias, the late founder and editor of LATINA Style Magazine. Her drive and mission to empower Hispanic women is one of the true legacies in the Hispanic community. Our programs and services celebrate this spirit of entrepreneurship that was Anna Maria's vision and that today serves to fuel the phenomenal growth of the Latina business sector.

Created in the spirit of Anna Maria Arias' vision for Latinas in the business sector, we honor and celebrate the perseverance and commitment that marked her life. She was a pioneer as a publisher, businesswoman and champion of entrepreneurship.
