Report by the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Education, March 2009
As the economic and social challenges facing the Latino community increase in light of the economic crisis confronting the entire country, many of the Latino organizations that serve this population are concerned about the level of funding being directed to the Latino community, possible changes in the philanthropic community’s approach regarding the most effective and appropriate ways to support the Latino community, and the changing and developing strengths and needs of Latino non-profit organizations and the communities they serve.
This project was conceived as part of a process to stimulate dialogue and action to strengthen the ability of the Latino non-profit organizations to meet the needs of their communities. This report presents the data from the first phase of the project, a survey of 66 Latino non-profit organizations in the Chicago metropolitan area.
The Latino Policy Forum is pleased to serve as a site for dissemination of this report.
