About the Founder and CEO
I’m Arianna Bustamante, founder of Brighter Futures Fund, and a junior at Campolindo High School. I’m passionate about academics, lacrosse, and theater, and I’m proud to maintain a 4.0 GPA while preparing for advanced classes in the upcoming year.
Growing up in a family with immigrant roots, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of education. Three of my grandparents immigrated to the U.S., with one becoming a first-generation college graduate. These experiences have deeply shaped my belief in education as a tool for lifting families and communities.
