Hispanic Alliance

What Hispanic Alliance does

Hispanic Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded around 2010 and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, that serves as the largest collaborative network advancing opportunity for Hispanic families in the Upstate region. The organization operates a portfolio of community programs organized around five pillars — Education, Financial Stability, Health, Legal, and Community Services — delivered free of charge to constituents through a bilingual (English/Spanish) service model. Core offerings include the Bilingual Resource Directory, the Student DREAMers Alliance (SDA) leadership and scholarship program, a Community Job Board, Know Your Rights presentations and red cards, citizenship workshops, and signature annual events such as the Health Festival, Education Fair, Hispanic Heritage Month concert, and Community Resource Fair.

The organization is built around a community-team structure (Education, Financial Stability, Health, Legal, and HA Network), with volunteer-led teams staffed by named chairs and co-chairs supported by a small full-time team of approximately eight people led by Executive Director Adela Mendoza. Its technology footprint is a web-based bilingual content and resource platform (hispanicalliancesc.com) with directories, databases, and event content rather than a commercial software product. Distribution is achieved through partnerships with 16 Greenville County high schools, monthly HA Network meetings, and direct community engagement at events across the region.

Hispanic Alliance is funded entirely through philanthropic channels — individual donations including a recurring 'Team Amigos' monthly giving program, corporate sponsorships at Strategic/Impact/Community tiers, and stock/securities gifts — with no commercial revenue. Its partner ecosystem includes more than 150 organizations, anchored by relationships with Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, Prisma Health, BMW Group, Bank of America, Duke Energy, Clemson University, Furman University, United Way of Greenville County, and the South Carolina Arts Commission. In recent years the organization has expanded into research and advocacy through the Allied4Work, Allied4Health, and Allied4Art initiatives, producing original studies such as the 2023 Greenville Hispanic Health Study and the Lost Economic Impact of DACA Eligible Students report.

Scale indicators9 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Hispanic Heritage Foundation: National nonprofit focused on Hispanic youth leadership, education, and workforce development, including scholarship and award programs comparable in spirit to the Student DREAMers Alliance.
• LULAC: League of United Latin American Citizens, a longstanding national Hispanic civil rights organization with local councils providing education, citizenship, and civic engagement programming similar to Hispanic Alliance's Legal and Education pillars.
• UnidosUS: Largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization, formerly known as National Council of La Raza. Overlaps on advocacy, education, and community-program support but at national scale.
• Hispanic Federation: National Hispanic nonprofit umbrella that funds and supports a network of community-based Latino-serving organizations. Comparable mission and network-led approach but operates at much larger national scale.

Direct peers

• Mi Casa Resource Center: Denver-based Hispanic-focused nonprofit providing education, workforce, and youth programs in a regional setting. Highly comparable operating model and target population to Hispanic Alliance.
• Casa de Maryland: Mid-Atlantic Hispanic and immigrant services nonprofit offering education, health access, legal services, and workforce development. Comparable multi-pillar community-services model, though at a substantially larger scale.
• Conexión Américas: Nashville-based 501(c)(3) serving the Hispanic community with a comparable model combining direct services, education, advocacy, and a network of partner agencies. Hispanic Alliance mirrors this structure at smaller scale in the Upstate SC region.

Regional players

• Latino Community Foundation: California-based foundation investing in Latino-led organizations and leadership development across the state. Comparable ecosystem-building and philanthropic strategy, but focused on California.

Others

• ALPFA: Association of Latino Professionals For America, focused on Latino leadership and career development. Thematically related to Hispanic Alliance's workforce and youth empowerment programs but distinct in business-model (membership/professional association).
• Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU): National association representing Hispanic-Serving Institutions. Adjacent in mission given Hispanic Alliance's higher-education access and DACA-student advocacy work, but HACU is a member association of institutions rather than a direct service provider.
