We are building the first Latino philanthropic superhighway.
In 2022, LCFC launched the One Community. One Legacy. $20 million endowment campaign to support our vision of building the first Latino Philanthropic Superhighway. This monumental endeavor will ensure that the work we do today to elevate Latino Coloradans will be supported in perpetuity, giving our communities the resources needed to thrive for generations.
Let’s work together to change the face of philanthropy and deliver transformative change that makes a measurable difference.
