Empowering Latin Americans for a brighter future.
Latinos in the U.S. are rising, with more students enrolling in college and more entrepreneurs building businesses that strengthen our economy. But we know there’s still a long way to go. Only 24% of Latino students graduate with a four-year degree, and Latino-owned businesses receive less than 1% of venture capital funding. These are more than just numbers—they represent real barriers to opportunity.
We’re here to change that. By investing in education, supporting small businesses, and promoting leadership, we can help build a future where all Latinos have the chance to thrive. With your support, we’re working to create programs that open doors and empower individuals to realize their full potential.
