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.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES RELIEF

Our hearts are hurting with our neighbors in Northern California. LCF is relaunching our NorCal Wildfire Relief Fund to support our frontline community partners, workers and families most affected in the 2020 wildfires. In California, Latinos make up 71% of the workforce at vineyards and other agricultural businesses, and more than 40% of the workforce in the tourism and hospitality industry, according to the state’s Employment Development Department. Now more than ever, we need your support.
