About Hispanics in Philanthropy
Hispanics in Philanthropy concentrates on power-building, immigrant rights, and justice work for Latinx and other marginalized communities, prioritizing organizations that support migrants, asylum-seekers, and frontline community-led advocacy. Their grants favor grassroots and movement organizations focused on policy advocacy, legal services, and leadership development—often funding groups that combine migration support with civic engagement and racial justice. The foundation also supports intermediary and capacity-building organizations that amplify community power across regions, including Puerto Rico and Indigenous Latin American communities.

About Hispanics in Philanthropy
A single grant stands out in the recent record: $925,839 to Justice for Migrant Women in 2023. That award fits a broader pattern in which Hispanics in Philanthropy backs migration, forced displacement, and power-building work for Latinx and other marginalized communities. The foundation’s giving reaches legal advocacy, community organizing, and movement infrastructure, with support flowing to organizations that serve migrants, asylum-seekers, and cross-movement coalitions. Recent grants also include $200,000 to Immigrant Alliance for Justice & Equity for power building and justice and $120,000 to Al Otro Lado for migration and forced displacement. The mix of recipients shows an emphasis on groups working at the intersection of direct services, policy advocacy, and leadership development. It also includes intermediaries and regranting organizations that channel resources into community-led efforts, alongside groups rooted in Puerto Rico, Indigenous Latin American communities, and Black-Latinx solidarity work. The foundation’s structure and recent grant history point to a grantmaker that uses institutional funding to support organizing capacity rather than isolated project awards.
