Overview

Mission

Latino Leaders Network is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to Bringing Leaders Together to share our personal stories, grow relationships and build unity.We honor leaders who have demonstrated a strong record of impact and influence on the lives of Latinos living in the United States. Our programs provide a platform for public officials, community, and business leaders to share their personal stories of obstacles overcome to achieve success. The Latino Leaders Network provides a platform for policy makers, corporate executives, opinion leaders, civil rights activists, and industry experts to come together at six signature events annually at the Latino Leaders Luncheon Series, and Tribute to Mayors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
