Latino Community Fund of Washington State

The Latino Community Fund of Washington invests strategically in the Latino community to cultivate emerging leaders, strengthen effective nonprofit organizations, and enhance the quality of life for all Washingtonians. Based in Seattle, WA, the organization provides comprehensive services designed to address the specific needs of Latino families and communities across Washington State. Since its founding in 2006, LCF has developed a robust portfolio of programs centered on civic engagement, healthy families, and arts and culture initiatives. The organization offers free and unbiased counseling to over 1,200 individuals annually, connecting underrepresented communities to essential health care resources. As part of a statewide Benefits Enrollment Center, LCF extends its reach through community engagement, outreach, and education services addressing environmental health issues affecting families. The organization's approach capitalizes on the Latino community's greatest resource—its people—to identify, share, and advocate for culturally relevant and linguistically appropriate organizations, programs, and practices. With offices in Seattle and Yakima, the Latino Community Fund serves as a bridge between Latino-led initiatives and broader community development efforts, maintaining a commitment to transparent, asset-based practices that build capacity within organizations and leaders driving meaningful change throughout Washington.
