Our Story
Imagine walking into a family reunion. Loud laughter, big pours of wine, delicious food, and hugs. That’s what you get when you join the Peninsula Latina Giving Circle, a community of vibrant and successful women living in the Bay Area Peninsula stretching from South San Francisco to San Jose. When you join this Circle, you are welcomed into a place that feels like family. Meetings are usually hosted in the homes of circle members and center around food, laughter, conversation, and grantmaking. This Circle is bilingual and many grantees have presented in Spanish.

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.
