The Latino Family Fund de Gilroy is proud to launch a new grant model that strengthens our mission to advocate for, partner with, and uplift Gilroy’s Latino community.
Guided by our 2024 Strategic Plan and the Santa Clara County Latino Health Assessment—part of the County’s new initiative to better understand and address the needs of Latino residents—this model focuses on fewer, larger grants, awarding three organizations with $5,000 each to create deeper, long-term impact.
The assessment revealed key priorities for Latino families in Santa Clara County, including the need for culturally responsive mental and behavioral health services, affordable and stable housing, expanded youth opportunities such as mentorship and leadership development, improved access to education and language services, and healing programs grounded in cultural identity and community resilience. These findings shaped our funding priorities and reaffirmed our commitment to investing in equity, opportunity, and leadership for Gilroy’s Latino youth and families.
Our Grants Focus on 3 Key Areas
Promoting cultural relevance, language access, and trauma-informed care for Latino and historically marginalized communities.
Expanding pathways through jobs, mentorship, leadership, and prevention from system involvement.
Supporting academic growth and leadership development, especially for neurodivergent youth and those living with mental health challenges.
Each funded organization will also partner with LFF through a shared community event or initiative to amplify collective impact.
