A declaration that our name carries responsibility — and that the world we leave behind should be better than the one we were given.
Who We Are
Built on family.
Driven by purpose.
Vincent and Christine Hernandez didn't start a foundation because it looked good on paper. They started one because decades of hands-on giving — rescuing horses, feeding neighbors, supporting families in crisis — demanded a permanent home.
The IMA Hernandez Foundation is a recognized 501(c)(3) that channels the family's resources and energy into three pillars of impact: global health, science education, and animal welfare.
But this isn't about structure. "IMA Hernandez" is a promise — that belonging to this family means showing up for the world. Every grant, every volunteer hour, every fostered animal carries that name and that commitment.
Our Work
Three pillars.
One mission.
Guiding everything we do is a belief in spiritual well-being — the conviction that caring for others is how we care for ourselves.
Global Health
Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. We support organizations like Doctors Without Borders and the International Red Cross — putting resources where they're needed most, from crisis zones to underserved communities on the frontlines of global health.
Science Education
Curiosity drives progress. We invest in science education to give the next generation the tools, mentorship, and inspiration to ask better questions and build better answers.
Animal Welfare
Every creature deserves dignity. From funding Trinity Horse Rescue to supporting local SPCAs and spay/neuter programs, we protect animals who can't protect themselves. We don't just write checks — we foster, we show up, we get our hands dirty.
We don't just write checks. We show up.
