Latino Community Foundation

The mission of the Latino Community Foundation (LCF) is to unleash the civic and economic power of Latinos in California. LCF has built the largest network of civically engaged Latino philanthropists united by a shared sense of urgency and justice. LCF has invested over $25 million into grassroots Latino-led organizations to strengthen our democracy and build a more just, inclusive economy. This grant provides general operating support to LCF to strengthen core operations.

The Latino Community Foundation exists to unleash the civic and economic power of Latinos. The community foundation supports organizations that advance education, health and safety, civic engagement, and youth leadership, and that are Latino-led. This grant will enable it to deepen its impact and expand the reach of organizations focused on social change.

The Latino Community Foundation (LCF) invests in community organizations that support Latino families. Since 2008, teen pregnancy prevention has been at the forefront of the issues that LCF addresses. Although the teen birth rate in California has decreased dramatically in recent years, the rate among Latina teens remains high. This grant will enable LCF to provide sub-grants to selected teen pregnancy prevention programs operating in the greater Bay Area.
