Building Stronger Latino Communities

The Latino Giving Circle is a philanthropic and educational network designed and led by Latinos. As a donor advised fund of the Trust and Nuestro Futuro, LGC encourages individuals to pool their charitable dollars, increasing the resources available to Latino communities in metropolitan Chicago. More individual donors give to this fund than any other Latino giving circle in the United States. Their contributions support projects including education, immigration, legal and health care services.
