“Through grantmaking, capacity building, and crowdfunding support, HIP directly supports grassroots organizations engaging in innovative work across the Americas on issues such as: responding to natural disasters like Hurricane Maria; fostering transnational solutions to the evolving migration crisis; providing services to victims of gender-based violence and human trafficking; improving educational outcomes for Latino students; addressing the race-based wealth gap; and advocating for better policies in critical areas like immigration, civic participation, health and economic development. In 2018, HIP made over $3.1 million USD in grants to 55 organizations in over two dozen sites-including $534,000 for migrant children and families, $680,000 for disaster relief, and $1,340,000 for gender equity, among other areas. In the same year, HIPGive, HIP's Latino-focused crowdfunding platform, channelled funding to 107 Latino nonprofits in 10 countries. HIP seeks to share the needs and priorities of the Latino community with donors, grantmakers, advocates, academics, and other key community stakeholders. To this end, we sponsor regional, national, and international conferences, webinars, and briefings, as well as publish research geared toward both funders and the broader public. HIP's network is large and growing: our membership includes 59 foundations and nonprofits, as well as many individuals across the U.S. and Latin America. Finally, HIP's comprehensive leadership programs aim to strengthen the pipeline of Latino leaders and increase diversity in the nonprofit and philanthropic field. HIP's Líderes program provides targeted professional development and networking opportunities for mid-career social sector Latino leaders, and has served 128 individuals.”

“In 2018, Hispanics in Philanthropy entered into an affiliation agreement with HIPLatinoAmerica A.C., its partnering organization in Mexico, to strengthen HIP's reach and presence in Latin America.”
