ABOUT US

The Hispanic Health Council Foundation’s (HHCF) mission is to raise and manage funds/assets that will be contributed to the Hispanic Health Council (HHC) in their effort to “promote equity and address health disparities for Hispanics, Latinos, and other vulnerable communities through research, advocacy, and culturally resonant services.”

Given the scope of HHC’s work and charitable intent, HHC must have a Foundation dedicated to raising funds solely for the benefit of HHC and its mission fulfillment. To this end, the Hispanic Health Council Foundation, Inc. (“HHCF”) is an essential component of our funding engine and financial strategy as we continue to grow as an organization.

HHCF fundraising is governed by the HHCF Foundation Board of Directors. HHCF raises funds solely for the benefit of HHC and its mission fulfillment. The Board is in charge of establishing and governing fundraising priorities and plans, as well as implementing a strategic plan, an organizational budget, endowment policies, and organizational policies and procedures. The Board is actively involved in raising funds through sponsorships, individual giving, etc.
