Below are some recent examples of HF's grass roots/grass tops-structured programs and their effectiveness: • Advocate for Diverse Nonprofits: In 2015 HF led a coalition of African American and Asian American leaders in securing a $2. 5 million Communities of Color Nonprofit Stabilization Fund (CCNSF). The first fund of its kind created by the New York City Council, it bolsters non-profit capacity in areas such as financial management, board development and outcome evaluation• Launch Public Education Campaigns: In 2013-14, HF launched a multi-state Affordable Care Act (ACA) public education campaign focused on consumer education, health plan enrollment and building the capacity of Latino nonprofits to inform and help Latinos navigate the new health exchanges. More than 200,000 Latino individuals and families were reached during the first two years of the campaign. • Implement National Civic Engagement Initiatives: In 2012, HF launched Movimiento Hispano, a groundbreaking national civic engagement campaign designed to heighten the impact of the Latino vote in the 2012 Presidential elections. HF mobilized two of its national sister organizations – LULAC and LCLAA – to join this effort and work in partnership to increase Latino voter education, registration and turnout in 23 states with the goal of registering 200,000 new voters. • Implement College Readiness Programs: In late 2011, HF was awarded a 600K grant from the Lumina Foundation to launch an unprecedented four year college student success initiative called CREAR Futuros (To Create Futures) with the City University of New York. CREAR Futuros has also launched a multi-sector Latino college success coalition whose goal of the coalition is to drive large-scale collective impact on Latino college access, persistence and graduation across all of New York City.

Below are examples of HF's impact:• Launched pioneering programs to educate a new generation of Latino leaders, including Hispanic Leadership Institute nonprofit management classes, BoLD board service training and the CREAR Futuros college peer mentoring program• Created the most successful Latino Fund in the nation by providing $40 million dollars in total to fortify Latino nonprofits; helped launch the National Latino Funds Alliance (NLFA) which assists Latino Funds across the U. S. raise money for local communities and strengthen Latino philanthropic involvement• Registered more than 350,000 new Latino voters since 1995 • Worked with the Latino Commission on AIDS to create National Latino AIDS Awareness Day, which is currently observed in over 300 cities all across the U.

No other Hispanic non-profit organization in the country, has the capacity and strength that HF has built over 25 years in creating meaningful relationships with the Latino community and strategic connections with grass tops and grass roots stakeholders, especially in the corporate, philanthropic, media and government sectors. HF works effectively to harness coalitions and movements that create systemic and transformative change in its issue areas.

With a strong foothold in New York, Washington D. C. and states throughout the eastern corridor of the United States including Florida, HF works to uplift millions of Hispanic children, youth and families locally and nationally through the strengthening of Latino nonprofits, public policy advocacy and a portfolio of innovative community programs.
