Giving Circles en Acción
Our Giving Circle members are driving change in extraordinary ways. They’ve started businesses, hosted conferences for Latina and Latino youth, and even joined redistricting commissions. They’ve registered voters, coached nonprofit leaders, and fought for policies that uplift Latino communities across California. Our Members show the power of community-driven solutions.
In addition to joining a Giving Circle, you’re becoming part of a movement for bold leadership and authentic impact.

How It Works
● Contribute a minimum of $1,000 annually (or $85 monthly).
● Guide decisions by collectively setting funding priorities.
● Invest in Latino and Latina-led Organizations with the help of the LCF team, which identifies groups aligned with your Giving Circle’s values and priorities.
At least once a year, each Giving Circle votes to award grants to guarantee funds go toward the causes that matter most to the circle members. This is a way to power and uplift our communities while connecting with passionate, like-minded leaders.
