Overview
Mission
Our Mission is to develop and strengthen the power of Latinas to advance our collective success through sisterhood, leadership, and civic engagement.
What it reported doing in 2025
Latina Economic Advancement Program LEAP - In 2025, LEAP continued its dual-track focus on Financial Literacy and Workforce Development, offering a series of workshops designed to equip Latinas with the skills needed to secure higher paying employment and strengthen household financial resilience. Modules included budgeting, credit-building, career readiness, and job search strategies. The program concluded with Futura Fest, our annual career fair. Participants also had the opportunity to access stipends for 1:1 career coaching, professional headshots, and childcare vouchers, facilitating access and retention. LEAP fosters peer support and networking, reinforcing our mission to generate economic mobility within Latina communities.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 66% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
