About Us...
Matt Garcia was a man with a vision. He was the youngest city councilman elected in the state of California in November 2007. Matt was a great young leader and inspiration to all who knew him. Matt was only 22 years old… but, he lived more in those short years than many adults can even imagine. He led by inspiration, with integrity and ambition.
Matt’s dream involved supporting the youth and creating places for them to go and things for them to do; Changing a culture of violence and crime in the city through youth involvement. By uniting a community all people will have a sense of belonging and responsibility to the city of Fairfield. Matt’s life was cut short, but his legacy, work and heart live on.
The Matt Garcia Foundation was established to carry out Matt’s dream. We are dedicated to the work and efforts that Matt started and hope that we can inspire others to be the change in this world we live in, just as Matt inspired us.

How stress affects your brain - Madhumita Murgia
Stress isn’t always a bad thing; it can be handy for a burst of extra energy and focus, like when you’re playing a competitive sport or have to speak in public. But when it’s continuous, it actually begins to change your brain. Madhumita Murgia shows how chronic stress can affect brain size, its structure, and how it functions, right down to the level of your genes.
Lesson by Madhumita Murgia, animation by Andrew Zimbelman.

Halloween Spooktacular in Downtown Fairfield
The Matt Garcia Foundation Office had a very “spooktacular” time passing out candy during the 2025 Halloween downtown Fairfield give-a-way. The downtown was turned into a fancy Halloween wonderland with most of the businesses handing out candy for “trick or treaters”. It‘s always a fun time seeing the kids (and many of the business owners) dressed up as various characters. Teresa Courtemanche, President of the Matt Garcia Foundation, was dressed up as a modern and beautiful witch. Looking forward to next year!
