Our Story
The East Bay Latina Giving Circle includes women from many different walks of life who have created a space rooted in healing and sisterhood. These women are especially excited about the power of Latinas in the political sphere and will often fund organizations working to engage the vote beyond the Bay Area. One of the special honors claimed by this Giving Circle is their role as the Madrinas of the Radical Monarchs- a leadership and activism organization for young girls of color in whom they see a kindred spirit. The Giving Circle funded the Radical Monarchs early on and, to this day remain actively involved as sponsors, donors, and cheerleaders to uplift the next generation of young women leaders.

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.
