About Us
Lindaben foundation provides Child and Family Stability Services and Affordable Housing Support for local communities and our partnered school’s families-in-transition (Homeless and At-Risk).

We operate well through our outreach activities and ongoing collaboration with our strategic community partners to achieve the greatest impact and increasing the quality of life of the child and families we serve. The foundation employs like-minded members and volunteers to provide the momentum that helps us affect change in our community. We take our convictions and turn them into action.

Journey of Compassion
Our History
LindaBen Foundation was created in memory and honor of Anna S. Beavan’s parents Linda Santos (1945 – 1997) and Ben Dimatangal (1950 -2019) and for those people who died homeless or those who suffered in poverty, severe depression, mental health illness as well as drug and alcohol addiction. Linda and Ben were both funny and generous people who loved ballroom dancing and were always longing to be loved. In their honor, the foundation began its journey to uplift and save discarded lives whom suffer a similar fate just like her parents.
