About United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund
The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund has used chamber-to-chamber grantmaking as a core tool for supporting Hispanic business ecosystems. In the latest grants on file, one of the largest awards was $115,000 to the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Foundation for the Avanzar and Elevate Together programs, followed by a broad set of seven-figure-scale initiatives across state and metro chambers. The foundation’s recent portfolio shows a consistent emphasis on programs that help local chambers strengthen small business communities, build supplier capacity, and support entrepreneurs through structured programming rather than individual aid. Its grantmaking also extends beyond chamber infrastructure. The Aspen Institute Inc. received an $80,000 grant in 2023, showing that the funder sometimes backs outside organizations in addition to chamber intermediaries. In other awards, the foundation has supported the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and the Latino Business Chamber of Greater La Foundation through repeated program support. Across these grants, the pattern is clear: the funder works through institutions that can move capital, training, and business-readiness support into local Hispanic and minority-owned business networks.
What United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund Funds
A central theme is chamber capacity and business-development programming. The United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund gave $110,000 to Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Cc for the Elevate Together Program, and $100,000 each to the Hispanic Cc of Palm Beach County and the Georgia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce for the same program in 2023. It also supports capital-readiness work. In 2025, Northern Virginia Hispanic Cc received $90,000 for the MBDA Capital Readiness Program, and the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metro Orlando received $57,269 for the same program. Supplier development appears in the grant record as well. The foundation awarded $90,000 to the Latino Business Chamber of Greater La Foundation for the Elevate Together Program, and the funder’s active program list also includes Avanzando Suppliers with Blue Wave, a capacity-building effort for certified suppliers. Local chamber support is another recurring thread, including a $58,000 grant to South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce that combined Elevate Together and local chamber grant support.
