Grantmaking
Each Spring, the Latino Family Fund eagerly convenes with Gilroy Foundation and their annual meeting allocating grants to nonprofits serving Gilroy that are dedicated to improving the well-being of Latinos and other underserved communities. Approximately 5% of the Fund’s resources are dedicated to supporting these impactful organizations during each grant cycle.
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of partnering with outstanding nonprofits such as Valley Verde, South County Cal-SOAP, Gilroy Arts Alliance, South County Collaborative, BAWSI, and CARAS, among others. These collaborations have not only enhanced the lives of individuals but have also strengthened our community as a whole.
Since our inception, the Latino Family Fund has witnessed remarkable growth in our grantmaking efforts—from $500 in 2007 to $97,000 in 2024.
At the heart of our mission is a deep-seated passion to foster growth and empower local organizations. We take pride in seeing our grantees thrive and make a meaningful impact. By supporting their initiatives, we aim to catalyze positive change and contribute to a more vibrant and equitable community. Helping these organizations grow and seeing them make a difference fuels our dedication to building a better future for all.
