Latino/a Americans require community-wide development of services made available to them, and they are in need of organizations that have a desire to push them to the forefront by sponsoring services that ensure access to quality education, economic stability and healthcare. Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP), under the masterful leadership of Senior Manager for Corporate Relations Alexandra Aquino-Fike and a number of other skillful individuals, has helped to mobilize and motivate Latinos for the last 30 years, by funding and supporting more than 600 Latino organizations from coast-to-coast.
San Francisco Women's Centers (SFWC) have helped to guide the lives of girls and women in need of safe spaces that provide advocacy for social justice, gender equality and self-determination for decades. Edificio de Mujeres (The Women's Building) is one of those facilities, and annually assists 20,000 women with needs related to the arts, education, community involvement, and social services.
