This grant program is a direct reflection of the Community Foundation's broader mission to foster community well-being and addresses specific, foundational needs within the local Hispanic population.

Ultimately, the program's core objective is to address the root causes of social ills and elevate educational attainment within the Hispanic community, creating a more equitable and thriving environment. To realize these goals, The Hispanic Fund’s grant program prioritizes projects that provide or work to improve several key areas. These priorities include initiatives that empower Hispanic citizens, address neighborhood revitalization or environmental issues, and promote public safety, education, and crime/violence prevention. Furthermore, the fund strategically seeks projects that offer collaborative solutions or new approaches to existing problems, and those that directly tackle the root causes of social challenges within the community. A significant focus is also placed on programs that positively influence Hispanic educational achievement in both public and higher education settings. While specific measurable results are not explicitly detailed, the focus areas inherently suggest clear expected outcomes. For instance, projects centered on citizen empowerment could lead to increased civic participation and leadership. Educational initiatives would aim for improved academic performance and higher rates of public or higher education enrollment. Similarly, neighborhood revitalization projects would target measurable improvements in local infrastructure and living conditions, and public safety initiatives would work towards a quantifiable reduction in crime rates.
