Latino Community Fund

In its first active year, Latino Community Fund of Washington State granted $8,800 in awards to projects here in Washington State. These awards helped 80 pre-school aged Latino children receive quality early education, gave hope to over a 100 middle school youth to avoid gang activities, and helped 280 high school students prepare to enroll in college and plan for a better future.

 

In 2009, the Latino Community Fund is already poised to invest over $20,000 into successful programs that will ensure a better future for many more Latino youth, their families and communities. However we need your help because our goal is to invest over $50,000 in 2009.  Please join the Latino Community Fund with your tax deductable contribution in making our shared vision for a healthy, educated, and vibrant Latino community more of a reality.

If not you who? 

 

While the Latino population in our state grows, investment from institutional philanthropic agencies has remained very small. According to the Foundation Center, although the United States Latino population is now over 13% BUT only 1.3% of philanthropic resources are going to Latinos! With your contribution, we can make an immediate difference. Please become an investor with your donation of any amount, and join others like you who believe that investing in the education, health, and a better life for Latino children, their families and communities is good for all the people in our State. Contributions made to LCF are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law (EIN 20-5987399).
