How We Work
Promote our community's embrace & support for low-income neighbors made more vulnerable by the increase of anti-immigrant and anti-other sentiments. We (1) support partner organizations improving the lives of our young neighbors from immigrant families and (2) facilitate collaborative giving in the DC-MD metro area.
Both organizations help tens of thousands of Latino youth and their families living with the vulnerabilities of poverty and discrimination. Both have track records of success and are respected by foundations, government representatives and citizens in DC and MD.
We are also working with the Rodham Institute to provide masks to Brookland Manor and other DC neighborhoods in need, as well as to learn how to help achieve health equity.
