Garces Foundation is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit in the community services sector that focuses on helping immigrant workers and families access essential resources. Its programs address health access, language instruction and workforce development, and broader community support, aiming to improve healthcare availability, English proficiency, and connections to social services for uninsured and underinsured individuals.

Founded in 2012 by chef Jose Garces and dentist Beatriz Garces, the foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization supported by donors, sponsors, and the local restaurant community, and it is headquartered at 1901 South 9th Street, Room 205, Philadelphia, PA. A recent activity includes participation in community events such as the Latin Night Market in 2025, reflecting ongoing engagement with local communities and partners.
