In 2010, HIP awarded approximately $2.8 million in grants to more than 100 Latino-led, Latino-serving organizations through the Funders’ Collaborative and other grantmaking initiatives, helping grassroots groups increase their capacity and sustainability during a time of prolonged economic challenges. HIP successfully launched the Puerto Rico Donors’ Education Collaborative, a partnership with four local funders to strengthen organizations providing alternative education solutions for the island’s at-risk youth. HIP also completed a detailed assessment of Latino aging issues in the U.S. and convened funders and experts to identify opportunities and challenges for Latino communities in areas such as education, aging, and LGBT rights. In the transnational arena, HIP prepared for the final phase of its initiative on productive initiatives that draw on the resources of our diaspora, and began looking ahead to the next phase of our work in Latin America.
The report provides a more detailed summary of these and other activities in 2010, as well as the organization’s final financial statements for the year. The full report is available for download as a PDF here, as are audited financial statements for 2010. To conserve resources, print copies are not being mailed to our large mailing list, but they are available at all HIP events and upon request; e-mail Natalie.Conneely if you’d like to receive a copy, and we’ll gladly mail one to you.

Providing Leadership
"As a Latino in philanthropy, it helps to meet other professionals dealing with the same challenges that I'm dealing with and to have the opportunity to learn from what they've experienced in the field."
— Edgar Aguirre
Loyola Marymount University
Membership Has Its Benefits
"HIP Membership has enabled me to broaden my reach into communities and to utilize resources I didn't know about before. As a funder, it has been great to associate with and learn from folks with such a depth of understanding about philanthropy and Latino communities."
— Larry Gonzales
The California Endowment
Increasing Diversity
"The field of philanthropy is not very diverse and the needs of the Latino community and Latino professionals in the field are not adequately met. HIP provides members with learning opportunities to increase their professional capacity as well as fun networking activities."
— Obiel A. Leyva
The San Francisco Foundation
Strengthening Our Culture
"The HIP Collaborative has helped in many ways over the past 10 years. It spurred us to recruit the first Latina foundation board member in the state and helped us develop relationships that have led to establishing several funds advised by Latinos. Our association with HIP has helped to strengthen our cultural competence as an organization."
— Tara Sandercock
Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro
A Collaborative Vision
"The philanthropic world is always preaching that collaboration is important. We tell nonprofits that when resources are tight, you must work together--collaborate. The Funders' Collaborative model allows foundations to work together to address the issues affecting our communities."
— Evette Cardona
Polk Bros. Foundation
A Strong Vision
"The chief strength of the Funders' Collaborative is that it is a collaborative process rooted in a single vision--strengthening Latino communities. It allows grantmakers and grantees from all over the country to work together towards that vision."
— Marilda Gandara
Aetna Foundation
A Consistent Vision
"In the late '90s, the HIP board said, 'Getting more Latinos into the field just isn't enough-we need a new strategy for increasing giving to Latinos.' The result was the Funders' Collaborative, which proved incredibly effective — we raised more than $40 million for Latino community-based organizations."
— Diana Campoamor
President of HIP
