NCLR MISSION
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR)—the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy
organization in the United States—works to improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans.
Through its network of nearly 300 affiliated community-based organizations, NCLR reaches millions of
Hispanics each year in 41 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. To achieve its mission, NCLR
conducts applied research, policy analysis, and advocacy, providing a Latino perspective in five key areas—
assets/investments, civil rights/immigration, education, employment and economic status, and health. In
addition, it provides capacity-building assistance to its Affiliates who work at the state and local level to
advance opportunities for individuals and families.
Founded in 1968, NCLR is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan, tax-exempt organization headquartered in
Washington, DC, serving all Hispanic subgroups in all regions of the country. It has regional offices in
Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, and San Antonio and state operations throughout the nation.
NCLR thanks the many staff who contributed to the 2011 NCLR Annual Report and gives special thanks to the following people. Ruben J. Gonzales,
Deputy Vice President of Resource Development, and Ashley Thompson, Consultant, managed the production of this report. Sherry San Miguel,
Graphic Designer and Production Coordinator, designed and supervised the artistic production. Kari Nye, Senior Development Editor, edited

message
from the President and the Board Chair
For nearly 45 years, NCLR has advocated equal opportunity for Hispanic Americans, with improvements in
economic and political empowerment and socioeconomic status as our guiding vision. While Hispanics have
made advancements in numerous areas, in recent years we have battled a rise in anti-Latino sentiment; naysayers
depict Hispanics as a drain on the economy and continue attempts to enact anti-Latino legislation at the state and
local level. Such tactics distract Americans from the real issues affecting the country, such as epidemic foreclosure
rates, record job loss, our faltering education system, and the need for comprehensive immigration solutions.
In truth, the numbers tell a different story. According to the U.S. Census, Latinos account for 16% of all newly
enlisted military; Hispanic-owned firms have grown at nearly three times the rate of non-Hispanic-owned firms;
and by 2050, nearly one-third of the total American workforce will be Hispanic. Simply put, Latinos are the
backbone of America’s future.
Stories of success, as well as the challenges that still must be overcome, motivate NCLR to continue pursuing its
mission—to create and improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans. Our growing network of community-based
Affiliates and our partnerships with influential leaders and socially responsible individuals, organizations, and
corporations throughout the country are the cornerstone upon which NCLR helps strengthen America.
Engaging Hispanics in the American democratic process is an area that is high on our agenda, and with the
acquisition of Democracia U.S.A. in 2011, NCLR is now one of the largest Latino voter registration organizations
in the nation. Hispanics have the potential to wield great influence in the political
process, and in the coming year our efforts will seek to expand the clout of the
Latino community by linking eligible immigrants to citizenship, citizens to
registration and voting, and the community at large to advocacy. NCLR recognizes
the power of the nation’s 50.5 million Latinos, and it is time to harness their voice.
Stand with us! By investing in America’s Latinos, you’re shaping our country’s future.
Please join us in propelling the nation forward—a better America depends
on the strength of all of its individuals, families, and communities.

AFFILIATE NETWORK
The NCLR Affiliate Network consists of nearly 300 autonomous, nonprofit organizations working to
improve the lives of millions of Latinos each year. NCLR’s Affiliates reflect the breadth and depth of the
Hispanic experience in the United States and address the gamut of issues and priorities of the community.
Through their daily service, they are uniquely positioned to create innovative approaches to policy and
program development. Together, NCLR and its Affiliates promote responsive civic engagement, influence
strategies and programs, improve outcomes for Latino families, and nurture the development of strong and
responsible community leaders.
2011 Highlights
Affiliate Engagement. Affiliates participated in record-breaking
numbers in NCLR events, including the Affiliate Leadership Summit,
National Latino Advocacy Days, and the Annual Conference, and
demonstrated a strong showing at the Affiliate Regional Meetings
throughout the country.
AmeriCorps. For the past 16 years, NCLR has promoted service as an
AmeriCorps national partner. As part of this effort, NCLR’s work with
eight Affiliates in 2011 engaged 126 AmeriCorps members to benefit
more than 10,000 individuals through beautification projects and
education activities in different communities across the nation.
Special Affiliate Awards. Mary’s Center of Washington, DC received
the 2011 NCLR Affiliate of the Year Award for its exemplary health
services programs that reach a wide array of immigrants and lowincome families in the area. Three Affiliates received the prestigious
Family Strengthening Award: Centro Hispano of Dane County, Mary’s
Center, and Women’s Initiative for Self Employment. These Affiliates
host training sessions to teach and extend their approaches to other
community-based organizations.
Regional Strategy. Through increased financial, human, and
technical resources, NCLR bolstered its regional strategy—supported
by the Campaign for Stronger American Communities—and
expanded its capacity to serve its Affiliates. In 2011, the California
Regional Office’s collaboration with Affiliates and partners resulted in
increased advocacy, engagement, and leadership development and
allowed for in-depth analysis of the status of Californians in education,
employment, and health, in addition to promoting the strengths of
the regional Affiliate Network. In 2011, NCLR expanded its regional
strategy to its Texas Regional Office and rolled out elements of the
strategy in the Midwest and the Northeast.
Investments in Our Communities
We are thankful to the many corporate, foundation, and
individual supporters who invested in NCLR’s Campaign for
Stronger American Communities, which has made regional
strategy implementation and Affiliate capacity-building possible.
NCLR is especially grateful to its primary partners in these efforts:

TITLE &
HEALTH
NUTRITION
SUBTITLE
Good health is the foundation of a good life. NCLR and its Affiliates work to promote and
improve the health and well-being of Hispanic Americans through activities and programs that
focus on access to quality health care, health education and disease prevention, linguistically and
culturally competent resources, community-based research, and advocacy for national policies.
2011 Highlights
Comer bien: The Challenges of nourishing laTino Children and families
Research and Publications. NCLR
published an HIV/AIDS report that
combines a review of existing
literature, an overview of findings
from numerous community-based
organizations, and data collected by
government agencies to provide a
cutting-edge analysis of the growing
Comer bien:

HIV/AIDS crisis among Latinos in
nourishing laTino
Children and families
the U.S. NCLR also issued a report
addressing Latinos’ mental health
needs, and another outlining Latinos’
awareness and attitudes concerning
clinical trials. The Health Policy Project released a storybanking
publication, Comer Bien: The Challenges of Nourishing Latino
Children and Families, and a professionally edited ten-minute film
of the same name to tell the stories of Hispanic families working to
overcome barriers to nutrition.
Hispanic Health Leadership. In conjunction with 21
community-based partners, NCLR’s Institute for Hispanic Health
trained 80 promotores de salud (community health workers)
who reached more than 3,000 Latinos with culturally competent
messages on important health issues. NCLR also presented on
the genomic literacy of Latinos at the National Human Genome
Research Institute’s Community Genetics Forum. The Health Policy
Project led NCLR’s national calls, congressional outreach, and social
media action initiatives on topics ranging from Medicaid defense to
food insecurity and obesity, and was featured as an expert on many
Hispanic health equity panels.
Health Care Reform Implementation. The Health Policy Project
approaches health care reform implementation through both
legislative and administrative advocacy. NCLR submitted formal
comments to implementing agencies on the new public health
insurance option and proposed rules to the Exchanges, health
care affordability programs, and Medicaid. NCLR also took a
leadership role in crafting the Health Equity and Accountability
Act of 2011, a health disparities bill that builds on the promise of
health care reform.

EDUCATION
Quality education is a priority in the Latino community as parents, educators, community
leaders, and corporate partners strive to narrow the achievement gap between Latinos and other
Americans. NCLR’s Education department supports school improvement as the foundation for increasing
student achievement, and policy efforts focus on improving the education system—from preschool through
high school—to better serve Latinos. NCLR’s network of education Affiliates and allies also informs the
public education system at national and regional levels while strengthening the community-based sector; tests
and documents best practices of successful education programs for national dissemination; and engages
stakeholders as advocates for Hispanic students.
2011 Highlights
Early Childhood Education.
To support the improvement of
services to Latino children and
families, NCLR facilitated the
exchange of best practices among a
number of organizations providing
early childhood education services.
NCLR identified organizations to serve
as models on the implementation
of programs and application of
practices in dual-language development and the integration of
cultural elements, family engagement, and continuous datadriven assessment. As a result, NCLR is formalizing a process of
peer mentorship where service providers engage in structured
activities to support program improvement. A continuing priority
for NCLR is to increase awareness among federal policymakers
and professional development providers of effective practices in
community-based programs serving young Hispanic children and
their families.
Parent Organizing Project. In 2011, NCLR completed the first year
of a pilot project that empowers parents to organize other parents
in their community to improve the education of their children. The
project is a partnership with NCLR and Academia Avance, a charter
school in Los Angeles, California, and the Salem/Keizer Coalition
for Equality, a community-based organization in Salem, Oregon,
focused on parent organizing for education improvement.
Professional Development for Math Teachers. Twenty-five
teachers from 12 schools across the NCLR network are taking
part in a project that improves their ability to integrate student
assessments as an essential part of math instruction. The teachers
are trained to apply pilot assessments in their classrooms and
observe each other’s progress. NCLR is one of several partners
selected by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to refine and
disseminate the effective use of assessments.
Model for School Improvement. At the culmination of its
three-year pilot project, NCLR solidified a model for schools serving
Latino students which develops leadership, improves instructional
practices and curricula, and helps charter school boards be more
effective. The four participating schools demonstrated great gains
that included increased graduation rates, significant increases in
state achievement tests, and more rigorous course offerings.
Youth Leadership
The NCLR Líderes Initiative is a national program that increases opportunities for Latino
youth to maximize their influence as leaders in the United States. By supporting a network of high
school and college students, as well as young professionals, Líderes strives to develop future
generations of civically minded professionals, corporate executives, public officials, and community
leaders who will promote social justice at the local and national levels.
2011 Highlights
Líderes Network. The Líderes website and biweekly e-newsletter
reached more than 9,000 Hispanic students with information
about grants, scholarships, internships, fellowships, conferences,
and network events. Líderes was also active on Facebook and
Twitter, daily updating its tech-savvy followers with leadership
opportunities and alerts about NCLR’s national campaigns and
efforts. In 2011, the Líderes Youth Advisory Committee also
launched its own blog, which will be used to increase awareness of
leadership resources provided by the program.
Líderes Summit. Convening nearly 500 students each year, the
NCLR Líderes Summit has become one of the most comprehensive
leadership conferences for Hispanic youth in the U.S. The 2011
Summit featured more than 20 educational workshops on civic
engagement, community empowerment, and professional
development, as well as a town hall session about the future of
leadership which was attended by more than 350 students. Cecilia
Muñoz, then-White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs,
and Ken Salazar, U.S. Secretary of the Interior, each spoke at a
Summit event, motivating students to continue pursuing leadership
opportunities. One of the biggest highlights was the arrival of
President Barack Obama, who made it a point to shake hands
with Summit participants after his address at the NCLR Annual
Conference.
Líderes Empowered. Launched in 2009, Líderes Empowered is a
ten-month cohort program that equips and empowers young
people to become agents of positive change in their communities.
The program leads youth to identify the most pressing issues and
promising opportunities for their schools and neighborhoods and
then challenges them to respond with potential solutions at local
congresos and civic engagement activities over the course of the year.
Among their communities of Latino youth, participants have
explored increasing college entrance rates, decreasing high school
dropout rates, and decreasing gang-related violence. Congresos,
which are coordinated by program partners, convened nearly 500
students and incorporated 240 new members into the Líderes
Network in 2011. Community response activities coordinated by
the Affiliate Youth Leadership Committees at each site included
parent conferences, community forums, workshops at street
festivals, and beautification days at schools.

ECONOMY &
WORKFORCE
The strength of the American economy is increasingly linked to the strength of the Hispanic
workforce. NCLR and its Affiliates help ensure the Latino community’s ability to contribute to and share in
the nation’s economic opportunities by promoting Latino employment in good jobs, safe and fair workplaces,
and Latino workers’ education and skills acquisition.
2011 Highlights
Workforce Development Forum. NCLR’s 2011 Workforce
Development Forum—¡Fuerza! Stronger Economy, Stronger
Latino Workers—was held in Chicago and attended by 42 Affiliate
organizations and other representatives from 35 states. The
forum featured more than 30 workshops and roundtable sessions
presented by workforce development experts, and keynote and
plenary session remarks by leaders from the Department of Labor,
city workforce agencies, and private foundations. The convening
provided a setting to discuss solutions, share strategies, and
forge partnerships to improve services for Hispanic workers in
communities across the country.
Research and Publications. NCLR held panel
discussions in Washington, DC in conjunction
with the releases of important publications
documenting the state of Latino workers and
youth. We Needed the Work: Latino Worker
Voices in the New Economy is a collection
of stories illustrating the vulnerability of
Hispanic workers in the low-wage, low-skill
labor market. A second report, Plugged

A Report of the NCLR Escalera Program
serving Latino youth who are disconnected
from school and work. NCLR also releases
a Monthly Latino Employment Report that
details the latest Hispanic employment
statistics, provides snapshots of key growth
industries, and offers NCLR’s analysis of
policy proposals to create jobs.
Program Outcomes and Impact. NCLR’s
Workforce Development programs prepare workers for lifelong
economic and career advancement. The NCLR Career Pathways
Initiative, which targets low-skilled and limited-English-proficient
adults in the green, health care, and customer service sectors,
provided training and critical support services to approximately
1,400 participants, resulting in an average wage gain of $2.32 per
hour for those placed in jobs. The NCLR Escalera Program: Taking
Steps to Success, which serves at-risk and disconnected youth, has
reached nearly 1,500 Latino youth to date in seven cities, with 92%
of participants completing the program and graduating from high
school, and 89% enrolling in postsecondary education.
WEALTH-BUILDING
Despite making significant contributions to American society, Hispanics do not enjoy
equal economic opportunities. Latinos rely on assets—such as their home—to weather a financial
emergency, send their children to college, or save for retirement. Unfortunately, Latino wealth fell
by 66% between 2005 and 2009, the largest drop of any ethnic group. The assets owned by
White households exceed those of Hispanic households by 18 to one, a figure known as the racial
wealth gap. NCLR works to narrow this staggering gap through policies and programs that address
structural and economic barriers.
2011 Highlights
Wealth-Building Policy Project. NCLR launched the Home for
Good (H4G) campaign to respond to the rapidly changing housing
reform debate. H4G engaged NCLR’s Action Network and informed
the public on housing issues, collecting 10,609 signed petitions and
postcards that called for an end to the housing crisis and delivering
them to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner. The campaign also
provided expert congressional testimony and released numerous
policy materials, including eight principles that are essential to
secondary market reform; a five-part foreclosure series; and fact
sheets on credit scoring and prepaid cards. As a result, new policy
related to foreclosure prevention and neighborhood stabilization
includes priorities for Latino families, and the federal Housing
Counseling Assistance Program regained its funding.
program’s training methods have been replicated in more than 300
organizations that are meeting their communities' counseling needs.
NCLR Homeownership Network (NHN). The largest network of
community-based organizations working to build Latino wealth
through homeownership, NHN develops programs that blend
research, advocacy, and consumer counseling. This counseling
intermediary, approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD), consists of 50 NCLR Affiliates in
27 states, serving more than 64,000 families each year. NCLR’s
technical assistance and quality control measures are the
foundation of the renowned NHN Learning Alliance, a HUD-approved
training and certification program for housing counselors. The
A major achievement for the organization was an award of
New Markets Tax Credits from the CDFI Fund, a division of the
Department of Treasury. This allocation provided access to a new
source of capital for transactions in low-income communities. In
fiscal year 2011, RDF closed two transactions that leveraged nearly
$28 million of private capital to fund school projects that will
provide opportunities to more than 1,000 students in Indiana
and Massachusetts.
Raza Development Fund, Inc. (RDF). As a support corporation
to NCLR, RDF worked with the Affiliate Network in both lending
and technical assistance, providing over $5 million in debt capital
and Latino Social Venture Fund grants. In direct alignment with its
mission, RDF’s lending directly benefitted the Hispanic community
by funding projects that produced 546 housing units and increased
capacity for charter schools to serve more than 2,295 students. In
financial terms, RDF underwrote and closed over $19 million in
loans with a focus on charter schools (66%) and housing (28%) in
the 2011 fiscal year.

CIVIL rights & IMMIGRATION
Our nation’s immigration system
remains broken, and the Latino
community is feeling the effects of
federal inaction to find solutions.
Working with partners throughout
the country, NCLR’s immigration
team coordinates national and local
policy and advocacy activities to
push back on the toxic environment
that is poisoning the waters of policy
debates involving immigrants and
challenging the very presence of
Hispanics in America. NCLR’s work
aims to achieve an immigration system
that serves the national interest and
upholds human dignity.

* With the exception of Alabama, each state coded in blue has blocked portions of its law, including the “papers please” provision.
In Alabama, however, other provisions were blocked while the “papers please” provision remains.
2011 Highlights
Fighting Anti-Immigrant Legislation. After the passage of SB
1070, Arizona’s anti-Latino, anti-immigrant law, many states sought
to imitate the state and its extreme measures. In combating this
legislation, NCLR joined a boycott of Arizona which resulted in $750
million in losses to the state. Through its Affiliate Network and
partners, NCLR is working with advocates to educate the Latino
community about state and local copycat laws and seeking to bring
about the best possible policy outcome. In a number of states,
such as Virginia and Texas, NCLR worked with Affiliates to defeat
anti-immigrant initiatives. NCLR has published tool kits for advocates
and legislators to combat these bills, as well as two major reports on
the negative impact of state-level anti-immigrant legislation.
In Alabama, where the nation’s most punitive immigration law was
signed into law in June 2011, NCLR has been working closely with
its Affiliate, the Hispanic Interest Coalition of Alabama (¡HICA!), to
respond to the crisis created by the enactment of HB 56.
Advocating for Immigrants and Their Families. NCLR’s
continued advocacy on behalf of undocumented immigrants and
their families contributed to several important announcements
from the Obama administration. Chief among them is the
Department of Homeland Security’s intention to review
deportations on a case-by-case basis, focusing on serious criminals.
NCLR has been working to get the information to the Latino
community through the media, as well as bringing Affiliates
together with administration officials to discuss concerns about
how immigration policies are affecting communities and the
changes that are needed.
ADVOCACY &
EMPOWERMENT
Advocacy, civic engagement, and community-based support are essential parts of any
community empowerment strategy. NCLR strengthens Latino participation in the political process
through its various civic engagement projects and by building the advocacy capacity of its Affiliate
Network of community-based organizations. With the acquisition of Democracia U.S.A. in 2011,
NCLR is now one of the largest Latino voter registration organizations in the country.
2011 Highlights
Emerging Latino Communities (ELC) Initiative. ELC combines
training and technical assistance to strengthen organizations in
areas where the Hispanic population has experienced rapid growth,
but lack infrastructure to support the community. In 2011, NCLR
awarded $100,000 in subgrants to eight organizations in eight
states through the ELC program.
NCLR Latino Leadership Institute. This is a new component
in NCLR’s strategy to build the advocacy capacity of its Affiliate
Network; it is a five-day training program that teaches campaign
strategy, issue development, base-building, and advocacy skills,
and focuses on deepening Affiliates’ understanding of the forces
affecting their communities. NCLR conducted the inaugural session
with 20 staff members from 12 California Affiliates.
California Affiliate Capacity-Building Initiative. As part of
NCLR’s project to increase the civic engagement of its California
network, 33 California Affiliates actively participate in committees
focused on advocacy. In 2011, 332 people representing 22 Affiliates
participated in NCLR’s California Latino Advocacy Day. These efforts
contributed to important policy reforms, including passage of the
California Dream Act, which extends affordable education to more
than 2,500 Californians each year.
We Will Not Forget. On the heels of the failed vote on the
“Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM)
Act,” NCLR launched We Will Not Forget, a campaign to report how
Congress voted. The ad produced for the campaign was the most
downloaded document from NCLR’s website in 2011, with 37,852
downloads in Spanish and English. It ran in a selection of Spanishlanguage newspapers and was promoted through Facebook ads.
Civic Engagement and Leadership Development
NCLR National Latino Advocacy Days. Representing more than
100 organizations, 350 Latino advocates came to Washington, DC to
participate in the 2011 NCLR National Latino Advocacy Days. They
conducted more than 130 legislative visits on Capitol Hill to urge
members of Congress to find real solutions to issues affecting Hispanics.
National Campaigns
Online Advocacy. NCLR’s online action network generated a
record 30,157 actions from 42 advocacy campaigns. The efforts
focused on the federal budget; threats to cut WIC, Pell Grants,
and Medicaid; housing counseling funding and wrongful
foreclosures; and anti-immigrant legislation and attacks on the 14th
Amendment. In addition, the mobile action network grew from
3,322 to 7,048 members.

SPECIAL EVENTS
NCLR’s Integrated Marketing and Events (IME) team plans events that highlight the institution
and its partnerships, programs, and Affiliate Network. NCLR’s key partners—which include Fortune
500 companies, foundations, philanthropists, community organizations, media entities, nonprofit organizations,
national leaders, and newsmakers—come together to further improve opportunities for Hispanic Americans.
Composed of experts in events, marketing and communications, fundraising, and graphic design and
publications, the IME team helps generate unrestricted revenue for the entire organization.
2011 Highlights
NCLR Capital Awards. Each year, NCLR recognizes members of
Congress from both sides of the aisle for their support of public
policies that include and engage Hispanic Americans. In 2011, the
black-tie gala at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC
honored Representative Barney Frank (D–MA) and Representative
Mario Diaz-Balart (R–FL), while the Capital Award for Public Service
went to the band Ozomatli for its work in engaging the Latino
community to vote, as well as its participation in the Vote for
Respect campaign.
NCLR Annual Conference. The 2011 NCLR Annual Conference
took place in the heart of Washington, DC at the Marriott Wardman
Park Hotel, July 23–26. Fifty-seven workshops were offered,
along with four town halls and various networking events. Select
Conference events were live-streamed to more than 14,000
viewers, including the Monday Luncheon keynote address
delivered by President Barack Obama, during which he discussed
the Latino community and its role in advocating for continued
change. Arianna Huffington, President and Editor-in-Chief of
the Huffington Post Media Group, was live-streamed during the
Latinas Brunch, where she discussed her immigrant experience
and personal successes. NCLR marked a series of firsts at the
2011 Annual Conference as it unveiled its official mobile app for
smartphone devices and launched its first partnerships with media
entities such as The Washington Post and Twitter.
NCLR National Latino Family Expo®. Held in
conjunction with the Annual Conference, the
National Latino Family Expo brought together
thousands of attendees for vision, glucose, HIV,
kidney, and COPD screenings, healthy cooking
demonstrations, a fashion show, musical
performances, appearances by beloved children’s
characters, and more. The Diversity Career Fair
hosted 26 exhibitors and brought in more than
1,000 attendees, while Eva Longoria hosted a
book-signing for her new cookbook.
NCLR ALMA Awards®. The NCLR ALMA Awards
originally began in 1995 to promote the fair and
positive portrayal of Latinos in the media arts
such as film, television, and music. These awards
honor artists for their outstanding achievements in
various fields, helping enhance the Hispanic image.
This year, with NBCUniversal as the new broadcast
partner and the continued support of PepsiCo, the
ALMA Awards achieved a 60% viewer increase.
The show also strengthened its influence through
integral partnerships with Telemundo.com and
Mun2, as well as social media.

financial summary
For more than 40 years, NCLR has worked to elevate the Hispanic American social, political, and
economic status. Over the next several decades, the size of the community is projected to nearly
double and will form one-third of the American workforce by 2050. Simply put, if our nation’s future is
to be prosperous, Latinos must thrive in school and the workplace. NCLR’s mission has remained
constant since its founding, yet we have adapted to the rapidly changing demographic, socioeconomic,
and geographic realities of American Latinos—and to the ever-shifting economic realities of the nation.
We have been successful thanks to the financial support of individuals, corporations, and foundations
that share in our vision.
2011 Highlights
Program Maximization. NCLR spearheads efforts from its
national, regional, and state operations in direct collaboration
with its network of nearly 300 community-based Affiliates. This
approach ensures that NCLR makes the greatest possible impact
through wise resource management and streamlined expenses.
NCLR is proud of its proven track record of financial health. In 2011,
NCLR allocated 92% of its total expenses directly to community
programs. The remaining expenditures funded advocacy and
administrative activities and are continually analyzed for
financial efficiency.
NCLR’s fiscal responsibility, accountability, and transparency
have been commended by Charity Navigator, America’s premier
independent charity evaluator. It has bestowed NCLR with its
highest 4-star rating for three consecutive years, indicating that the
organization “Exceeds industry standards and outperforms most
charities in its Cause.”
Direct Funding. In 2011, NCLR allocated 70% of all of its
subgrants totaling $7. 2 million directly to its Affiliate Network.
These grassroots organizations reach all pockets of the Hispanic
community and facilitate NCLR’s mission at the local level.
Distribution of grants and subgrants through this infrastructure has
empowered NCLR to improve education programs, job training,
financial counseling, health services, and more.
Investments in Our Future. NCLR is uniquely positioned to
strengthen the lives of America’s Latinos, but we need your help.
Progress relies on generous support from business, individual,
and foundation partners. Together, we can improve the lives of
the nation’s 50.5 million Latinos and ensure a prosperous national
future. Please visit our website to view the options available to fit
your philanthropic goals.
Take an active role in ensuring a
prosperous America.
