Hispanic Women National

What Hispanic Women National does

100 Hispanic Women National Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1995 by 14 Latina professionals, community, and business leaders. The organization is dedicated to guiding Latinas towards excellence in leadership by fostering educational enrichment and creating opportunities for personal and professional advancement. It operates five regional programs across the New York metropolitan area—The Bronx, Long Island, New Jersey, Rockland County, and Westchester County—each governed by a local board of directors under national oversight headquartered in East Harlem, New York. National leadership is provided by President Catherine Garcia (elected December 2022) along with two Vice Presidents, a Secretary, and program directors.

The organization's core offerings comprise three scholarship products, two mentorship and recognition programs, and two major annual events. The Young Latinas Leadership Institute (YLLI), established in 2002, provides four-year undergraduate scholarships of $1,000 annually to Latinas enrolled at CUNY institutions. The Shirley Rodriguez Remeneski Public Policy & Administration Scholarship awards $1,000 annually for two years to community college students in public-service fields. The 100HW Graduate Fellowship Program, launched in 2023 in partnership with CUNY, offers up to $2,500 annually for Latinas pursuing Masters or Doctoral degrees. To date, 75 young Latinas have received four-year YLLI scholarships totaling over $300,000, with 30 scholarships currently awarded annually. Mentorship and recognition programming includes the Milagros Baez O'Toole Young Latinas Task Force (delivered with Mentoring USA for 11-17 year-old socially high-risk girls) and the monthly Aplauso recognition program. The Anniversary Gala draws 500+ attendees and the Mind, Body, and Spirit Conference draws 350+ participants.

Revenue is generated through four streams: tax-deductible donations from individuals and organizations (via PayPal and bank transfer), tiered membership dues from $25 (Student/Senior) to $1,000 (Corporate), corporate gala sponsorships from $500 (Topaz) to $25,000 (Diamond), and an affiliate merchandise partnership with Paw Print. The organization operates no proprietary technology platform—distribution and member engagement rely on a community-led, event-driven model leveraging its five regional chapters, an Eventbrite-managed event calendar, WordPress-based web presence, and organic social media channels (Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram). Annual revenue is not publicly disclosed.
