Our story
Origins
From volunteer efforts to tech startup
What began as a volunteering effort to help underserved communities, has turned into an amazing social impact startup journey. Formalized in 2018 as a California public benefit corporation, Entidad is a minority owned, technology services provider, founded by three longtime friends who met while pursuing engineering degrees at Stanford University. Along the way we’ve been adding talented individuals that are helping us reach new levels. We are immigrants, the children of farm workers, and come from the same communities we hope to serve.
JOURNEY
Pandemic relief for farm workers
Whether its solutions that assist with immigration, emergency relief, or ethical labor recruiting services, we’ve been able to support many use cases over the years. The most recent solution we’ve built is being used by 6 organizations to process and distribute $80 million in pandemic relief to over 130,000 farm workers nationally as part of the USDA’s Farm and Food Workers Relief Grant Program.
Present
Enhancing efficiency and constituent engagement
Entidad wants to help nonprofit organizations of all sizes that are ready to take their next steps into unlocking the potential of working digitally. Tap into your community’s growing digital literacy to eliminate the many internal inefficiencies that eat up your staff’s time, creating space for them to focus on crafting rewarding experiences that drive trust and loyalty with constituents.

Partnerships
Along the way Entidad has been forging partnerships in pursuit of its mission. The challenges of social impact are complex and can’t be solved by a few organizations alone. We value collaborating with partners both formal and informal and across industries in pursuit of our mission. From TrustOverIP, to FounderFamilia, and CIERTO Global, each of these relationships play an important role in helping Entidad drive forward.
