Giving Matters, and Every Cent COUNTS!
Contributing to the Latino Community Fund through workplace giving or a direct contribution ensures that your donation directly supports the Washington Latino community.
Giving as an Individual
As a community foundation, the Latino Community Fund deeply values the contributions of our individual donors. As an individual donor, you have the power to steer the future of philanthropy in the Latino community. From one dollar to thousands, our individual donations have recently enabled Latino Community Fund to launch our largest grant-making initiative in our organization's history. Together with your generosity and your deep commitment to promoting the strengths of our comunidad, we can continue to take the course of future giving in the Latino community to new heights.
Challenge Grants
LCF is a proud recipient of several challenge grants that maximize your individual contribution. With the generous support of partners such as the Kellogg Foundation Cultures of Giving Grants and the Marguerite Casey Foundation contributions from first-time donors and stretch contributions from current supporters are doubled! All you need to do is donate. We'll take care of the rest.
Young Latino/a Professional Giving Circle
$240 Annual Membership ($20 a month)
Philanthropic giving transcends divisions between all ages and professions as proved by the next generation of young philanthropists who are taking action to support their communities. Many young Latinos share a deep sense of pride and appreciation for Latino spirit and culture, yet they are unfamiliar with ways they can directly give back to their community. As a member of the Young Professional Giving Circle (YLPGC), you have the opportunity to join forces with a dynamic group of Latinos/as in the private and public sectors who share a passion for making a difference in their Latino communities. YLPGC members get a portion of their donation matched by LCF, receive access to invitation-only LCF-hosted seminars, workshops, and events pertinent to relevant issues impacting members and receive four discounted tickets to our Annual Latino Community Fund Summit and Awards Brunch in October.
Join our Young Professional Giving Circe today by contacting info@latinocommunityfund.org. LCF is currently accepting new members!
Employee Giving Campaigns
Employee giving campaigns enable employees to give back directly to their communities through fast, easy automatic payroll deductions. Through your company's United Way Campaign or similar employee giving program, you can instantly submit your contribution to the Latino Community Fund.
