Give to LaFamilia
Your support is a much-needed investment in Latine empowerment at a time when diversity initiatives face intense backlash and drastic cutbacks across the US.
Your support matters more than ever
-
Latines make up nearly 20% of the US population, yet Latine founders receive only 1.5% of total U.S. venture capital funding.
-
Latine individuals make up just 2% of venture capital professionals and face significant barriers to entry. Even those who break into VC lack access to leadership opportunities.
-
If Latine-owned businesses in the US were funded equitably, they could generate $2.3 trillion in additional economic benefits.
