Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) is a left-of-center Latino-focused advocacy, fundraising, and education nonprofit organization. By utilizing its network of donors, foundations, and Latino-led nonprofit partners, it aims to increase philanthropic investment in Latino communities, increase Latino leadership in the social sector, and increase Latino visibility and influence. 1 HIP channels capital and capacity-building support into community-based Latino organizations through grantmaking, leadership development, and digital tools. It claims that it leads the largest network of donors and organizations focused on directing money into Latino communities. 2

In 2025, HIP partnered with the Trust Based Philanthropy Project through its “Meet the Moment” initiative. This initiative seeks to bring its supporters together “in solidarity with nonprofits.” The group claims that the political climate could pose risks to nonprofits through reductions in funding, legal concerns, and lack of staff. 3

In 2020, billionaire philanthropist MacKenzie Scott gifted $15 million to HIP with no program restrictions or requirements. 4  5 Again In 2025, HIP received a grant from Yield Giving, MacKenzie Scott’s philanthropic initiative started in 2022. Scott is the former wife of Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos and gave over $7.16 billion to various organizations in 2025. 6

Activities

Hispanics for Philanthropy’s goal is to direct philanthropic resources into Latino communities to support left-leaning causes, including to organizations that support environmentalist responses to climate change, gender equity, expanding access to philanthropic resources, illegal immigration, opposition to deportation, leadership, community mobilization, and racial equity. 7

Racial Equity Advancement and Defense Initiative (READI)

Hispanics for Philanthropy is a partner in the Racial Equity Advancement and Defense Initiative (READI), in collaboration with Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders in Philanthropy and Native Americans in Philanthropy, in an effort to advance, grow, and secure philanthropy work that is primarily focused on race-explicit grantmaking and programming. This focus uses race as a central component of analysis and action and draws attention specifically to race in HIP’s philanthropy efforts. READI was created in 2023 in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned the use of race as a factor in higher education admissions, and HIP and READI are attempting to fight against a restriction on race-based policies in the philanthropic and nonprofit sectors. HIP’s president, Ana Marie Argilagos, supports affirmative action, especially in philanthropy and grantmaking. 8

Gender Equity Program

In 2016, Hispanics in Philanthropy launched the Gender Equity Program, which directs funding and support to Latino-serving organizations that are focused on policy change in women’s issues, including abortions and reproductive care, employee rights, human trafficking, and violence. 9 HIP combines its grantmaking ability with research (utilizing a “gender lens”), training, and advocacy to advance its gender equity goals. 10

Ana Marie Argilagos, president and CEO of HIP, in an interview with Forbes, argued that there must be more “women, trans, and non-binary people in leadership positions.” 11

Mitigation and Forced Displacement Program

In 2018, Hispanics in Philanthropy created the Mitigation and Forced Displacement Program. It is a rapid-response fund that advocates for and protects the rights of illegal and legal immigrants and refugees, while supporting organizations on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border by providing grantmaking and a communications campaign that draws attention to the people coming across the border. 12

HIPGive

In 2014, HIPGive, Hispanics in Philanthropy’s digital fundraising platform, launched the first bilingual (English/Spanish) crowdfunding platform focused on Latino-led social projects across the Americas.  13 In a 2023 HIPGive report, it has helped raise, through a combination of community involvement and structural support, over $5 million from 58,000 individual donors, and has supported more than 1,300 organizations across 17 countries. 14

In 2023, the film and television production company Participant launched the Radical Fund, which is managed by HIP. The fund created a campaign that encouraged donors to use the digital HIPGive platform to raise money for 12 one-time grants for educational nonprofits serving Latino students. 15

Financials

In 2023, Hispanics in Philanthropy granted approximately $6.8 million for its activities in North America (excluding the United States); approximately $160,000 for its activities in Central America and the Caribbean, and $216,000 for its activities in South America. 16

From 1991 through 2022, HIP received approximately $2.5 million from the MacArthur Foundation, most recently for the organization’s work focused on how the climate impacts migrants from the Americas and the Caribbean. 9

Between 2012 to 2025, HIP received approximately $1.44 million from the Gates Foundation, a left-of-center grantmaking foundation and the largest private philanthropic foundation in the world, for community engagement grantmaking, K-12 education, research and learning opportunities, and public awareness and analysis.  17
