One Community.
One Legacy.
A Giving Campaign to
Invest in Colorado’s Latino Community
Endowing our future: Our $20 million goal isn’t just a number – it’s a guarantee that Latino leadership will always have the resources to lead, innovate, and protect our community.
Our growth is real. Since our start in 2007, LCFC has invested over $35 million in Latino communities throughout Colorado. Our giving campaign centers on raising $20 million organized under three purpose-specific funds that will honor our past, embrace our present, and position us for a bright future for generations to come. In achieving this goal, LCFC will continue to invest in Latino individuals and communities, lifting our collective strengths and cementing our presence well into the future.
Why Give?
The Legacy Endowment Fund will dedicate the capital for our community to think big, innovate, transform, and unite our collective power. With your help, we will elevate our Latino communities to new heights.
In the next 20 years, one-third of all Coloradans will be of Latino ancestry. We will comprise much of the student population, labor force, and talent that will be vital to Colorado's prosperity. We will hold a meaningful role in helping shape the next two decades for Latino nonprofits and leaders.
Our goal is to raise $20 million.
We are 88% of the way there.
Help us close the $2.5 million gap to establish a permanent foundation for Latino philanthropy.
Together, we will create a legacy of investment that transforms our community for generations to come.
