Background
WHY WE HELP
On October 11th, 2020, our lives were profoundly impacted by the tragic loss of our beloved designer and co-owner, Joshua Ortiz. Joshua was a kind, welcoming, charismatic, and loving soul. By nature, Josh gave out of everything he had and strived to fulfill every need that was ever placed before him. He had an eye for filling in empty spaces and regularly used that gift to establish new atmospheres of love, hope, and abundance.
Though we were deeply saddened by the loss of Joshua, we emphasize that the impact of his life has far exceeded every place of pain throughout this hard season. His love has long been the driving force of our company, and in an effort to keep Josh's legacy alive and active, we launched the first annual Joshua Ortiz "giving back" Memorial Fund Benefit on October 21st, 2021.
Driven by a mission to live like Joshua, and intercede on behalf of those within our community who lack essential resources, opportunity, care, and nurturing, this organization was founded to continue the legacy of kindness, empathy, and service that was pioneered by our beloved, late designer, Joshua Ortiz.
WHO WE HELP
Joshua had a passion for advocating for those who are typically marginalized within our community. His heart went out specifically to single mothers, children in need, the hungry, and our troubled youth. As a foundation, we carry a deep conviction to give back to movements that support such causes, in Joshua's honor, for many years to come. The Joshua Ortiz Foundation gives regularly to various philanthropies working within the Brazos Valley Region including The Brazos Church Pantry, Scotty’s House, Voices for Children, Twin City Missions (Phoebe's Home), The Aggieland Human Society, The Trevor Project, and many others. Ambrose Furniture Works is proud to say that through the love and support of our community, we have been able to give over $300,000 to these fine organizations as of December 2023. Contribute
