Hispanic Federation
About Hispanic Federation
Since 1990, Hispanic Federation has been taking Hispanic causes to heart in New York, NY and across the nation, serving as a beacon of empowerment for millions of Latino children, youth, and families. As a membership-based organization, Hispanic Federation is deeply rooted in community values and cultural competency, serving everyone regardless of race, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, religion, and age. The organization's mission centers on empowering and advancing the Hispanic community, supporting families, and strengthening Latino institutions through culturally and linguistically competent programs and advocacy.
What distinguishes Hispanic Federation is its dual commitment to immediate community support and systemic change. The organization provides emergency assistance through programs like LA Ayuda, offering financial aid to immigrant workers and displaced families, while simultaneously engaging millions of Latino voters and working to shape public policy at federal, state, and local levels. With 35 years of history rooted in New York, NY, Hispanic Federation has expanded to become America's largest Latino umbrella organization, uniting a diverse network of nonprofits and community leaders. The organization's holistic approach addresses hunger relief, health equity, immigration support, environmental justice, and economic development, recognizing that true empowerment requires addressing multiple dimensions of community life. Hispanic Federation's presence across over 40 states and territories, combined with its Washington, D.C. advocacy office, enables the organization to lift up Latino voices and advance meaningful opportunity and equity at every level of governance.
