SAN FRANCISCO—Hispanic Federation (HF) hosted its first Advance Change Together (ACT) convening in San Francisco, California during the National LGBTQ Task Force’s 2023 Creating Change Conference. The ACT convening brought together community-based organizations from across the country to discuss the barriers and issues facing Latinx LGBTQ+ communities and how best to address them. At the convening, HF announced the first grantees as part of the ACT initiative, which will be receiving grants of up to $50,000 that will go toward strengthening their organizations’ advocacy efforts, services, and infrastructure to better serve Latinx LGBTQ+ communities. In total, more than $1 million will be distributed to ACT grantees over a two-year period, half of which has already been distributed since the initiative was first announced in 2022.  To learn more, click here.
