This Is How We Meet the Moment

The opportunity before us is unlike any we have seen before in generations.

With the passing of the American Rescue Plan Act in March 2021, there is $1.9 Trillion on the line to re-envision and build thriving neighborhoods for our entire Latino community. These bold investments will only reach and transform our communities if our families – and the grassroots organizations that serve them – mobilize to demand that our tax dollars are invested equitably.

In February, the Latino Community Foundation (LCF) released a Call for Proposals for Latino-led grassroot nonprofits working to ensure the equitable distribution and implementation of the American Rescue Plan – and hundreds answered.

Today, LCF is proud to announce the first round of Latino Power Fund grants totaling $1.4 million to 35 Latino-led organizations across the state of California. From Napa County to the Central Valley to Orange County, these anchor organizations will use these resources to educate, advocate, mobilize, and steward the distribution and implementation of the American Rescue Plan. A list of impactful organizations is shared below.

To date, LCF has invested over $20 million into Latino-led organizations – and we’re just getting started! Through our Latino Power Fund, we are on track to raise $50 million to unleash the civic and economic power of Latinos across the start of California and beyond.

LCF’s 35 ARP Grantees are listed by region:

Bay Area 

  • Alianza Coachella Valley: Health/Mental Health, Environmental Justice 
  • TODEC: Health/Mental Health, Housing, Economic Justice, Undocumented Migrant Services 

    Sacramento County
