Latinx are 20% of the population and rapidly growing. Yet they represent under 3% in nonprofit board roles, and lower amounts in leadership, fundraisers, and donors. Especially major donors. Latinx with a $2.7 trillion dollar annual GDP in the US are the powerhouse of the American economy. Yet somehow, the nonprofit world doesn’t seem to notice. Research has shown that Latinx are largely not engaged in philanthropy.
