non-profits working to support the Latino community throughout the US and Latin America.

success within the communities we support. By growing our network, we expand our ability to
strengthen the Latino civic sector and the representation of Latino leaders in philanthropy.
As a grantmaking and grantseeking organization, HIP provides unique hands-on training and exposure for
students and young professionals interested in the philanthropic sector.
