About Chicanos Por la Causa Inc Cplc
Chicanos Por La Causa Inc Cplc places scholarships at the center of its recent grantmaking, with university-based awards for Arizona students appearing alongside broader community support. Among the clearest signals is a $255,000 grant to the Asu Foundation for a New American University for Latino Partnership Scholars, followed by $170,000 to the University of Arizona for Lorraine Lee Health Sciences, UA Medicos, and scholarships. The foundation also backs a range of smaller, targeted awards that connect education to access, public health, and student success. Its grant record shows a pattern of support that reaches institutions, local nonprofits, and community organizations across Arizona, while also extending to a smaller set of Texas and North Carolina recipients. The foundation’s stated focus areas include health-related services, housing and homelessness, immigration legal services, workforce solutions, adult education, youth enrichment, and small business lending. Alongside these program areas, it funds scholarship initiatives such as the CPLC Scholarships at the University of Arizona, the CPLC Scholarship for Arizona State University, and the CPLC Scholarship for Northern Arizona University. Recent grants also include community support to groups such as Phoenix Sister Cities and Cultural Coalition, indicating that the foundation combines education-focused philanthropy with direct local investment in civic and community life.
What Chicanos Por la Causa Inc Cplc Funds
Education is the most visible thread in the foundation’s active programs. It supports scholarships at the University of Arizona, Arizona State University, and Northern Arizona University, and the Arizona State University scholarship can provide up to $10,000 in tuition assistance per academic year. The CPLC Scholarships program also includes ongoing supportive services for students attending Arizona colleges and universities. A second theme is student access for specific communities. The Dolores Huerta Scholarship awards $1,000 to a high school senior living in or attending school in Tempe, and the DACA Tuition Scholarships initiative was built through partnerships with Arizona public university foundations and community college districts to raise private funds for DACA students facing increased tuition. The foundation also recognizes educators through the Esperanza Teacher Awards, which have been given annually since 1998 to four teachers in Arizona. In economic development, its small business lending program provides capital for business growth, neighborhood revitalization, and job creation.
