Build transformational wealth in Latino communities to create a more prosperous future for the entire nation.
The National Association for Latino Community Asset Builders uses grantmaking, technical assistance, and access to capital to reduce barriers to entrepreneurship and strengthen local small business ecosystems. Its recent grants show a clear emphasis on Latino-serving community development organizations, with support flowing to groups working on small business development, financial capability, neighborhood development, and affordable housing. A 2024 grant of $98,000 to the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama in Birmingham points to the breadth of its small business and financial capability work. In 2025, Enterprising Latinas Inc. in Wimauma received $85,000 for small business and financial capability support, while the Immigrant Development Center in Moorhead received $85,000 for small business work. The foundation also backs community development finance infrastructure through CDFI lending and related financing tools for nonprofit organizations that promote economic mobility and community development. Beyond individual grants, the funder operates through a national network of member organizations and strategic grant rounds, including initiatives focused on Latino-led and Latino-serving CDFIs. Its portfolio connects direct grant support with training, peer learning, certification assistance, and financing tools, reflecting a capacity-building approach rather than one-off project funding alone.
Small business development is a central theme. The foundation gave $80,000 to Carolina Small Business Development Fund in Raleigh for small business support, and it awarded $70,000 to Civic Community Partners Inc in San Diego for the same broad area. Financial capability is another recurring focus. Enterprising Latinas Inc in Wimauma received $40,000 in 2024 for financial capability and small business work, while Ventures in Watsonville received $47,000 for financial capability. The foundation also supports neighborhood and community development. South Tower Community Land Trust in Fresno received $40,000 for neighborhood development, and Neighborhood Housing Services of Baltimore Inc received $70,000 for neighborhood development and financial capability. Its community development finance work extends through lending and certification support for nonprofit loan funds and CDFIs, linking grantmaking with technical assistance and access to capital.

Typical grants cluster in the $25,000 to $40,000 range, with a median of $35,000 and a 75th percentile of $40,000. The recent grant list also includes larger awards in the $70,000 to $98,000 range. NALCAB’s 2024 member grant program awarded 84 grants totaling $2,228,500, showing a repeatable, programmatic approach rather than isolated awards. The organization is a regular funder, and it also makes program-related investments. Grantmaking is competitive and strategic in some programs, and multiple active programs explicitly do not accept unsolicited applications.
Grants are national, with recipients in all 50 states plus Washington, DC and Puerto Rico across active programs. Texas is the top state by grant count, and 18% of grants go to recipients in the HQ state. Recent recipients also include organizations in Birmingham, Wimauma, Moorhead, Raleigh, San Diego, Baltimore, Fresno, and Washington, DC. The country distribution is entirely U.S.-based in the data provided.
Its active programs and recent grants center on small business development, financial capability, community development finance, neighborhood development, and affordable housing. The organization also supports CDFI capacity building, leadership development, and rural capacity building through grantmaking, technical assistance, and access to capital.
Typical grants are relatively small to mid-sized: the 25th percentile is $25,000, the median is $35,000, and the 75th percentile is $40,000. The recent grant list also shows some larger awards above that range, including grants of $70,000, $80,000, $85,000, and $98,000.
Several active programs are marked as not accepting unsolicited applications, including Lending & Impact Investing, Small Business Development, Financial Capability Capacity-Building Grants, NALCE Grants & Member Support, and the CDFI Certification Program. The grantmaking shown is therefore programmatic and strategic rather than open-call based.
Recipients are community economic development nonprofits, Latino-led and Latino-serving CDFIs, neighborhood-based organizations, and groups supporting entrepreneurs and low- to moderate-income residents. The recent grants list includes organizations focused on small business, financial capability, neighborhood development, and community land trust work.
The work is national, but Texas receives the most grants by count, and 18% of grants go to recipients in Texas. Recent awards also land in many other states, including Alabama, Florida, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, California, Maryland, and Washington, DC.
