The HIP Collaborative is a regranting initiative that provides capacity-building grants to small-to-medium sized nonprofits that are Latino-led and Latino-serving.
-
"Capacity building" includes activities that contribute to the development and growth of organizational systems and infrastructure.
-
“Small-to-medium-sized” is defined as any organization with less than $2 million in annual operating budget. It is important to note that the $2 million cap is set for operating budgets only. Nonprofits can have assets greater than that which are considered exclusive from operating budgets.
-
"Nonprofit" is defined as a public tax exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Some sites allow for organizations that are fiscally sponsored.
-
Fiscal Sponsors: This latitude is determined on a site-by-site basis, so check with the HIP staff person in your site if you have a question. (For sites that allow fiscally sponsored organizations, the fiscal agent itself does not have to meet the leadership or mission criteria for “Latino-led,” but the group that is being sponsored does.)
-
“Latino-led” and "Latino-serving" is defined as meeting at least one criterion under “Leadership” and at least one criterion under “Mission” below:
|
Leadership |
Mission |

A majority of Board members are Latino. |
A majority of the people directly served by the agency are Latino.
