The Untold Truth Of Carlos Santana

Carlos Santana has always been known for his generosity and philanthropy. Yet, most fans are blown away when they realize just how much, and to how many causes, he has contributed. In 1998, he established his own charity, the Milagro Foundation, to "support under-resourced children and youth in the areas of arts, education and health." The charity is based out of the San Francisco area, but works with children around the world on health issues.

In 2017, after a string of hugely destructive earthquakes in Mexico, Santana donated $100,000 through Milagro to the Save the Children foundation to support the families in recovery (via Save the Children). Over 300 people had died and 25,000 homes had been destroyed, leaving thousands displaced. In 2020, just after the COVID-19 pandemic started, Santana and his wife Cindy Blackman partnered with several charities to raise money by recording a cover of John Lennon's classic song "Imagine" (per Rolling Stone).

Later in 2020, Santana created the Carlos Santana Coffee Company, which is also connected to Milagro. According to his website, a portion of every sale goes back to the foundation to support underprivileged youth.
