Overview

Mission

Chci seeks to develop the next generation of latino leaders. Chci provides leadership, public service, and policy experiences to outstanding latino students and young professionals, and convenes members of congress, other public officials, corporate executives, nonprofit advocates, and thought leaders to discuss issues facing the nation and the hispanic community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Leadership programs: chci's transformative leadership development and civic engagement programs work to develop and empower a new generation of latino leaders from throughout the country who can contribute to shaping public policy in Washington, dc, as well as play increasingly significant leadership roles in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors nationwide. The nextgen program engages high school students in a weeklong immersion program. The congressional internship program provides college undergraduates a 3-month placement in a congressional office. The public policy and postgraduate fellowship programs are 9-month experiences for recent university graduates who work in congressional offices, other government agencies, national nonprofits, and/or corporate offices. The internship and fellowship programs complement the placements with intensive leadership and professional development training. And the latino hill staff academy provides a combination of in-person and virtual content for congressional staff members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 65% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
