Our Story
Our Dropbox Latinx Giving Circle is born from the Dropbox Employee Resource Group for Latinx employees and allies with support from their social impact team. Employees from all departments and levels join forces for collective action to provide multi-year support to community organizations. While just in their first year, the Giving Circle was able to double down in their support to community partners and even supported LCF by providing laptops to complete the 2020 Census count.

About the Latino Giving Circle Network
The Latino Giving Circle Network is the largest network of Latinx philanthropists in the country. From Baby Boomers to Millennials, CEOs to emerging professionals, immigrants to US-born, Latinos and non-Latinos, we are part of a united movement inspired by the power of giving and civic engagement. The funding from these Giving Circles supports grassroots Latinx-led nonprofits, working on the frontlines with Latinx youth and families. These emerging community-rooted organizations are often overlooked by traditional philanthropy. We exist to change that. Learn more about the Network here.
