aboutus
01 / 04empowering, uplifting, and connecting students through acts of service
Maman Nonprofit @ UCLA is the student-led chapter of Maman Nonprofit — a women-led, fully volunteer-run 501(c)(3) dedicated to uplifting families, patients, and communities through compassion, service, and leadership.
The chapter was created by students who grew up admiring the work of Maman's founder, Sara Raoof Jacobs, and wanted to carry her vision onto campus. For over a decade, Maman has supported pediatric oncology units and fire-affected communities across Los Angeles. We keep administrative costs minimal so every contribution goes directly to the people we serve.
- Mother.
- A symbol of comfort, care, and guidance.
- Our mission: to care for those in need with dignity and warmth.
