2022 Grant Partners

 

Thanks to the generosity of our investors, the Hispanic Impact Fund awarded $365,000 in general operating support to 28 Latino-led and Latino-serving nonprofit organizations across four impact areas.  

The Hispanic Impact Fund awards two levels of grants—emerging and established—in each of its original three impact areas (early childhood education, health & wellness, and job skills & entrepreneurship). The emerging category applies to nonprofits with an annual budget less than or equal to $1.5 MM; the established category applies to nonprofits with an annual budget greater than $1.5 MM.
