The Latino Community Foundation is grieving with our friends and families that have been affected by the earthquake in Mexico. The road to recovery will be long, but we are a strong and resilient community. The images of everyday people pulling together to help their neighbors is a reminder that our culture is one built on community, generosity, and love.
In response, we have created a relief fund to help support the recovery in Mexico. We hope you will join us.
These radio stations have partnered with us to raise funds:
Funds collected will be distributed to Fundacion Merced in Mexico that is working on a short and long term strategy for recovery. LCF funding is in compliance with international grantmaking and foreign activities procedures.
Phase 1 – SUSTAINABLE HABITAT RECOVERY

Phase 2 – MEANS FOR RESTORING THE SOCIAL ORGANIZATION AND THE COMMUNITY ECONOMY
