About Hispanic Heritage Foundation

The Hispanic Heritage Foundation is an award-winning nonprofit organization headquartered in Washington, DC, dedicated to identifying, inspiring, preparing, and positioning Latino leaders across education, community engagement, and workforce development. Established by the White House in 1988, HHF operates as a 501(c)(3) organization with a comprehensive approach to developing the next generation of Hispanic American leaders. The foundation implements a year-round continuum of sustainable programs designed to create meaningful impact and address America's evolving priorities. Key initiatives include the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards, which recognize outstanding young Latino achievers; Latinos On Fast Track (LOFT), a workforce development program; the Hispanic Heritage Awards, celebrating distinguished Latino leaders and achievers; and strategic public awareness campaigns that reach millions of Americans. With additional offices in Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, HHF extends its reach across major metropolitan areas to serve Latino communities nationwide. The organization's philosophy centers on the concept of "a Latino helping hundreds more," creating a multiplier effect where supported leaders become mentors and advocates for their communities. Through its integrated programs and national presence, the Hispanic Heritage Foundation works to promote cultural pride, celebrate community accomplishment, and unlock the tremendous potential within the Latino population.
