Overview

Mission

The primary purpose is to educate the general public regarding issues impacting Latino communities, and to work toward the development of sound public policy that improves the community as a whole.

What it reported doing in 2024

Leadership Latino - Community outreach efforts in order to develop the next generation of leaders in the Latino community. We bring in speakers from all over the state to work with our attendees and educate them on how to get involved in local and state issues affecting their daily lives

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 some related-organization disclosures are missing.
