Our Impact
We’re an impact catalyst reshaping the Latine future.
Since 1981, we’ve been leading the largest transnational network strengthening Latine leadership and influence, and mobilizing philanthropic resources into our communities to build a more just world.
“There is today still dreadful underfunding of everything Latine.
Philanthropy must be a democratic tool to help us achieve power, build resources for our community, and grow influence. HIP will continue to track foundations: who they are, what they’re funding, who they’re funding, how they’re funding — or not funding — in our communities. We will continue to hold these institutions accountable and help philanthropic leaders understand the impact of funding Latine issues.”
- Ana Marie Argilagos, President & CEO

We’re ready for this moment.
Our future depends on Latines thriving. The population of Latin America & the Caribbean is 659M (over 8% of the world’s population). In the US, almost 1 in 5 are Latines. That’s 60 million of us! We’re voting in record numbers. We’re launching companies that better serve us. And we’re amplifying our voices.
We’re inspired by our Latine ancestors and our story.
Founded by three Latines in the Bay Area in 1983, HIP was born as an affinity group to raise awareness about issues that impact Latine communities within the philanthropy sector. Over the decades, HIP has not only connected large funders with smaller Latine-focused nonprofits worldwide, but has also become the power house that informs and represents the interests of our communities among global nonprofits, funders, philanthropists, impact investors and the public sector.
With the spirit of innovation that we inherit from our ancestors, HIP has continuously evolved its grantmaking and advocacy model towards a more proactive approach to fundraising and funding Latine serving nonprofits and missions. HIP has also invested in Latine leadership, equity, and inclusion programs to drive our communities towards more just future in which we can all thrive.
With offices in the US and Latin America, and a global network of trusted partners, HIP has been able to advance efforts and rdistribute funds for a wealth of social and humanitarian issues, such as gender equity, migrant and refugee rights, racial equity, civic participation, fair distribution of resources, among others. HIP has also launched HIPGive, a platform of digital tools advancing Latine social impact projects, and Inicio Ventures, a fund supporting Latine entrepreneurs.
We believe our impact and legacy is central to giving every Latine the opportunity to unlock their fullest potential and thrive.
