About the Latino Giving Circle
A giving circle brings people together to pool their resources and collectively decide how those resources should be invested in the community. Members of the Latino Giving Circle help support programs that respond to community priorities, reduce disparities, and improve the quality of life for Latinos across Greater Rochester. Members also receive voting rights in the Circle’s grantmaking decisions.
Not ready to become a voting member? A gift of any amount makes you an Amigo of the Latino Giving Circle and helps advance the Circle’s work.

The Latino Giving Circle does more than celebrate Rochester’s Latino community — we help resource and strengthen it. Your contribution supports community-led grantmaking, invests in local Latino-serving organizations, and helps build a more equitable Greater Rochester.
*Gifts of $250 or more qualify for voting privileges to help direct the Giving Circle’s grantmaking.
