Strong leaders are the foundation of thriving communities. As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, we honor the strength, resilience, and vision of our community’s leaders. At Latino Community Foundation of Colorado (LCFC), we’re committed to investing in them through initiatives like Adelante, Leadership Roundtables, and Executive Director retreats—programs designed to foster personal growth, build organizational capacity, and ensure long-term sustainability. We also recognize outstanding leaders in our community through our Emerging Leader Award, Philanthropist of the Year Award, and Soul of Leadership Award, celebrating those making a profound impact across the state. Know a leader in our community who inspires you? Shout them out in the comments for a chance to see them featured on our social media! When our leaders succeed, our communities rise together. ?? #HispanicHeritageMonth #LatinoLeadership #LCFC #CommunityImpact

"The day-to-day challenges of leading community-based organizations are complex and compounded by chronic philanthropic underinvestment in efforts led by and serving people of color. To bridge this gap, philanthropy must listen to and trust the needs and potential solutions identified by the people closest to the work..." Our Chief Impact Officer, Sonya Garcia Ulibarri is highlighted in this thoughtful piece about bridging resource gaps in philanthropy.
