Description
The Latino Equity Fund, established by The Boston Foundation in partnership with local Latino leaders, is Massachusetts' first philanthropic initiative dedicated to advancing equity for the Latino community. Through annual grantmaking, research, and community engagement, the Fund invests in Latinx-led and Latinx-serving organizations, supports emerging leaders, and convenes stakeholders to address systemic barriers and drive policy change. Its programs focus on increasing equitable access to economic prosperity and well-being for Latinos in Greater Boston and across the state.
The Fund offers two primary opportunities for researchers and nonprofit leaders:
- Annual $25,000 grants to Latinx-serving nonprofits addressing basic needs and economic mobility.
- Poderosas Fellowship: $5,000 stipends for emerging Latina professionals in development, advancement, or philanthropy roles.
