HF’s overarching goal within the next three to five years is to strengthen Latino children, youth, families and whole communities and create a sustainable Latino nonprofit sector by developing grass root and grass top coalitions involving community-based organizations (CBOs), foundations, corporations, individuals, government and media partners. HF will use these coalitions to create advocacy and service programs that aim to improve Latino outcomes in the areas of education, health, immigration, civic engagement, disaster relief, economic empowerment, philanthropy and the environment. Goal 1: Alleviate Poverty and Help Latino Families Thrive. Hispanic Federation (HF) promotes the social, political and economic well-being of the Latino community through scaling direct service programs on a regional and national level. HF community assistance supports and uplifts children, youth and families through the provision of direct social services in the areas of K-12 education, college access and success, workforce training, citizenship and naturalization, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), General Education Diploma (GED) and Adult Basic Education (ABE) classes, financial literacy, hunger relief, and health. Through these programs, HF is committed to decreasing disparities and advancing equity. Goal 2: Create a Sustainable Latino Nonprofit Sector to Support Latino Families: Hispanic Federation is committed to reinvigorating Latino grassroots institutions that are the mainstays of Latino life: early childhood centers, immigration service providers, arts groups, community-health clinics, shelters, after-school hubs, workforce centers, civil rights agencies and others. HF works every day with these nonprofits to advance policies and create programming that touch the lives of people, families and communities we collectively serve. And we provide community-based organizations with organizational development assistance and capacity-building grants that allow them to strengthen their programs and operations to more efficiently and effectively serve our community. Goal 3: Shape a Shared Advocacy Agenda to Strengthen Latino Communities: Hispanic Federation’s federal and state advocacy efforts advance the interests and generates resources for Latinos and allies through coalition-building, convening cross-sector institutions, and public education campaigns, winning tens of millions of dollars for people of color-run nonprofits in locations, such as New York City, Connecticut, Florida, and Puerto Rico.

The Hispanic Federation exists to empower and advance the Latino community, support Latino families, and strengthen Latino institutions. To achieve its mission, the Federation works at local, state, regional, and national levels and employs four key strategies: Grantmaking: HF provides more than $4. 2 million annually in capacity-building and program grants to Latino nonprofit agencies. Organizational development: HF provides technical assistance to strengthen nonprofit boards and financial systems and management training for Latino nonprofit leaders.

The Hispanic Federation works with 115 Latino nonprofit member organizations and a broader network of nonprofits that partner with the us to deliver programs in 20 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. United Way has described the Hispanic Federation as "a model for other communities in their efforts to build the capacity of their organizations. " Headquartered in New York, the Federation has field offices in Connecticut, Florida, North Carolina, Puerto Rico, and Washington, DC, and is opening offices in Pennsylvania and Illinois. These offices work locally, statewide, and regionally. Since its founding in 1990, the Federation has gained national recognition and prominence for its work in the areas of education, health, immigration, civic engagement, disaster relief, economic empowerment, philanthropy, and the environment. Its work and its visibility are expanding rapidly. The Federation staff has grown by 250% since 2012, as the Federation has initiated national programs, opened field offices, and become a major force in disaster relief in Puerto Rico. Its annual grantmaking has grown from $600,000 to 34 Latino nonprofit organizations in 2012 to $4. 2 million to 172 nonprofits in 2018. During 2018, 144,000 individuals made personal donations to the Federation, which also receives corporate, foundation, and government grants and raised more than $2. 7 million in 2019 through its annual Gala. The organization’s expanded reach enhances its capacity to meet both long-term and emerging community needs. The Hispanic Federation ecosystem of board, staff, member agencies and partners have a single-minded determination to better the lives of our Latino communities, nonprofits, and families. There is no Latino organization—indeed, no one organization in general—that combines a near-perfect mix of grassroots base-building with national reach, long-term strategic thinking with an unparalleled on-the-ground responsiveness, and solo organizational effectiveness with success in creating impactful allyships. Because of the Hispanic Federation, many Latino communities have dramatically changed for the better.
