Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s mission is to lead economic advancement, wealth creation, and equity for Latinos in Oregon and Southwest Washington. Its vision is to close the Latino economic equity gap and create intergenerational wealth.
Its programs include annual scholarships for qualifying Latino students; education, technical assistance, and training for new and existing businesses; and a leadership program for Latino professionals. Business services described by the organization include support with accounting systems, financing, marketing, technology, operations, and management. Its website also identifies advocacy, networking, workshops, and outreach as part of its work.
Grantmaking
