Empowering and advancing the Hispanic community by supporting Hispanic families and strengthening Latino institutions through work in education, health, immigration, civic engagement, economic empowerment, climate/environmental justice, and nonprofit capacity-building.
A defining feature of Hispanic Federation Inc is its sustained grantmaking to Latino-serving organizations across the United States, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic, with emergency relief, capacity building, and policy-linked community work all appearing in its recent portfolio. The foundation’s latest grants show repeated support for food assistance and immigration-related services, alongside donor-advised grants that add a separate layer to the giving pattern. One of the clearest examples is Espacios Abiertos Pr Inc in San Juan, which received $300,000 in 2023 and $127,178 in 2024 for the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit Initiative. Another is Los Sures in Brooklyn, which received $192,929 in 2023 and $137,878 in 2024 for food assistance. The foundation also backs community infrastructure through grants such as $122,500 to Building One Community in Stamford for the Esperanza Grant and $110,000 to The Resurrection Project in Chicago for an immigration grant. Across these grants, the organization supports Latino nonprofits, immigrant families, and Puerto Rico-based institutions through direct service and organizational support.
Food access is a visible part of the foundation’s work. It gave $271,928 to Resource Center for Comm Develop Dba Hopeline in the Bronx for hunger relief, $202,169 to Vision Urbana Inc in New York for hunger relief, and $152,504 to Dominican Women Dev Center in New York for hunger relief. Tax-credit outreach is another recurring area: Espacios Abiertos Pr Inc in San Juan received $300,000 for the Child Tax Credit and Earned Income Tax Credit Initiative. The foundation also funds immigration and legal support, including $120,000 to Las Americas Imm Advocacy Ctr in El Paso for the Immigration Fund Esperanza Project and $110,000 to The Resurrection Project in Chicago for an immigration grant. Its Latino digital and civic engagement work appears in grants such as $130,000 to CASA Inc in Hyattsville and $110,000 to Assoc Advanc Mexican Americans in Houston, both for Latino Digital.
Hispanic Federation Inc’s recent grant sizes cluster in the small-to-mid grant range, with a typical spread of p25 $10,000, median $20,000, and p75 $40,000. The recent grants list also shows larger awards, including several in the six-figure range, alongside many grants that look project-specific or restricted by program title. The portfolio includes recurring recipients across multiple years, such as Maestra Music Inc, Espacios Abiertos Pr Inc, Los Sures, New York Shakespeare Festival, Wesleyan University, and Peoples Theatre Project Inc. The organization’s structure includes donor-advised grants and a mixed community foundation classification. It also operates some programs that accept unsolicited applications, including the Latino COVID-19 Relief Fund and the Food & Farmworker Relief program.

Grantmaking is spread nationally, but it is especially active in New York and Puerto Rico. Recipient locations in the recent grants include New York City, the Bronx, Brooklyn, San Juan, Stamford, El Paso, Chicago, Houston, Hyattsville, Hartford, and Loiza. New York state accounts for 38% of grants to recipients in the HQ state, and North Carolina is the top state by grant count overall. The country distribution is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, with one grant in the Dominican Republic.
It funds Latino-serving nonprofit organizations, including groups working on education, health, immigration, economic empowerment, civic engagement, disaster relief, and nonprofit capacity-building. Recent grants also show support for hunger relief, tax-credit outreach, Latino digital engagement, and Puerto Rico-focused community development.
Yes. The recipient country distribution includes one grant in the Dominican Republic, alongside the vast majority in the United States. Its active recovery and resiliency work also names Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic among the geographies it serves.
The grant-size distribution centers on smaller awards: p25 is $10,000, the median is $20,000, and p75 is $40,000. The recent grants list also includes larger project awards, but the typical pattern is in that lower range.
Yes. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Maestra Music Inc, Espacios Abiertos Pr Inc, Los Sures, New York Shakespeare Festival, Wesleyan University, and Peoples Theatre Project Inc. That suggests ongoing relationships rather than only one-time grants for some organizations.
Some programs accept unsolicited applications, including the Latino COVID-19 Relief Fund and the Food & Farmworker Relief program. Other active programs, such as member-agency operating support and core grantmaking, are marked as not accepting unsolicited applications.
