The Latino Community Foundation (LCF) is committed to responding to the immediate needs of our communities. For this reason, LCF has launched special and timely campaigns to raise and distribute funds to Latino-led organizations working on the frontlines in response to those needs.  We are grateful for the generosity of those that stand alongside LCF and the organizations we support in these times of crisis.

  • Get Latinos Connected

    Only 52% of Latino families have Internet access at home. That is why the Latino Community Foundation and the Chicana Latina Foundation partnered up to launch the “Get Latinos Connected” campaign, a multi-region, culturally appropriate adoption strategy to increase Latino access to the Internet in Northern California.

    IMPACT: Connected 3,000 families to low-cost Internet! Provided refurbished and new computers to young children. Reached 2 million people via Univision, Telemundo and social media efforts.

  • Unleash Great Minds

    In 2013, LCF led Unleash Great Minds initiative through which they raised money to purchase laptops for underserved children in our community. With the help of generous individual donors, LCF raised $32,500 and was able to provide hundreds of laptops.
