Building Trust, Creating Impact: The Latine Philanthropy Forum

Join us for our first in-person forum since 2019! The Community Foundation’s Progreso Latino Fund invites you to an empowering dialog on Latine representation in philanthropy. This dialog will explore the latest trends; how the Progreso Latino Fund and our community members are working together to change the narrative of Latines being seen on the receiving end of philanthropy to being the philanthropists; and opportunities to grow your Latine philanthropic voice.

For questions or changes in registration, please contact Carmen Burgos.
