The Cleveland Foundation invites applications for its Latino Impacto Fund, an affinity fund launched with a $3 million endowment at the foundation, which aims to build a rich future that advances bold innovation and lasting solutions rooted in shared cultura.
The fund’s advisory committee, comprised of local leaders and community advocates, has outlined two key strategic priorities for this round of grantmaking:
Business and entrepreneurial advancement: Grants will support organizations leading projects, programs, and services that foster new business creation while strengthening and expanding existing enterprises. Projects for consideration may include but are not limited to technical and startup assistance, business resource navigation, and mentorship and community connections.
Economic advancement: Grants will support organizations leading projects, programs, and services that address critical needs and create pathways for long-term stability and prosperity. Projects for consideration may include, but are not limited to workforce training and credentialing, housing stability and access, and financial empowerment.
Grants between $10,000 and $25,000 will be awarded.
Focusing on local partners, the fund provides grants to greater Cleveland 501(c)(3) organizations serving and uplifting Latinos through initiatives that promote community prosperity.
