Major Achievements
Latino Power Building Initiative
Galeria de la Raza, in partnership with The Unity Council, convenes 10 Latinx-led organizations across the Bay Area to strengthen the power building and advocacy infrastructure of Latinx serving organizations in the region. This cohort meets to learn, share, and strategize on regional opportunities in collective partnership. Powered by a $3 million dollar investment by The San Francisco Foundation, the Bay Area Latinx Regional Power Building Initiative has two objectives:
- To increase organizational capacity to build power and advocate across the region on a set of collectively identified opportunities.
- To align around a collective purpose and agenda that strengthens the power building and advocacy infrastructure of these Latinx-led organizations, and to redirect and leverage resources & investment from philanthropy, local, state and federal government.
