Our Story
The Latinos in Healthcare Giving Circle (formerly KPLA Latinx) is where healthcare professionals come together to flex their collective power, and passion to advance health equity within the organizations they represent and communities they serve.
Inspiring Latinos, Latinas, and Latinxs to pursue healthcare careers and professionally develop their skills as leaders is one of their focus areas to enable an inclusive workforce. Members of this Circle recognize the pervasive existence of healthcare inequities and through their intentional investment, cross-collaboration, and equity-centered solutions, they believe systems and practices can change to enable communities to prosper free of systemic oppression and racism.

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.
