The Hispanic Federation is a U.S. non-profit organization, incorporated in the state of New York, which provides grants to Latino agencies serving vulnerable members of the Hispanic community and advocates nationally on issues of education, health, immigration, economic empowerment, civic engagement and the environment.[1]
Organization
The federation was founded in 1990. According to its annual report, the group "uses its network of Hispanic nonprofits and close linkages with grass roots leaders, media and policymakers to empower and advance the Hispanic community. HF has gained national recognition for its work in the areas of education, health, philanthropy, immigration, economic empowerment and civic engagement."[2]
Issue advocacy
The group is active in the news media. In 2015, it applauded NBCUniversal and Macys for breaking their ties to presidential candidate Donald Trump for his comments regarding Hispanic immigrants in the United States.[3]
