    About Latino Community Foundation

    Latino Community Foundation’s recent grantmaking is anchored by repeated six-figure support for California-based organizations building civic and economic power. In 2025, it awarded $285,000 to Comite Civico Del Valle Inc in Brawley for building civic and economic power, and $268,900 to Community Initiatives in Oakland for building civic power. Those grants sit alongside a broader portfolio that backs Latino-led organizations, grassroots civic groups, and community infrastructure across the state. The foundation funds both direct community organizing and the institutions around it. Education and Leadership Foundation in Fresno received $250,000 in 2024 for building civic power and building economic power, while Todec Legal Center in Perris received $205,000 for the same combined purpose. This pattern shows a funder investing in organizations that connect advocacy, power-building, and economic mobility. Its work also extends beyond core civic engagement. Recent grants include support for disaster response, immigrant and community protection, nonprofit leadership development, and Latino philanthropy. The mix of operating grants, capacity support, and rapid-response funding points to a foundation that uses philanthropy to strengthen Latino communities at multiple levels, from local organizing and entrepreneurship to movement infrastructure and donor engagement.

    What Latino Community Foundation Funds

    Civic power is a central theme in the foundation’s grantmaking. North Bay Organizing Project in Santa Rosa received $255,000 in 2025 for building civic power, and Community Partners in Los Angeles received $223,000 in 2024 for the same purpose. The foundation also backed Dolores Huerta Foundation in Bakersfield with $158,000 in 2024 for building civic power. Economic power is another clear focus. Drexel University in Philadelphia received $250,000 in 2025 for building economic power, while National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders in San Antonio received $200,000 in 2024 for the same focus. In California, Fresno Area Hispanic Foundation received $150,000 in 2023 for building economic power. The foundation also supports philanthropy field-building. Daffy Charitable Fund in Los Altos received $175,000 in 2023 under inspire philanthropy, and The Wildflower Foundation in Minneapolis received $150,000 in 2023 with the same theme.
