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.
