Latino Community Fund Georgia

What Latino Community Fund Georgia does

Latino Community Fund Georgia (LCF Georgia) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2017 and headquartered in Decatur, Georgia, that operates as both a direct service provider and a philanthropic intermediary for Georgia's Latino population. It is the only organization in the state occupying this dual role. The organization serves more than 30,000 people annually across seven counties spanning Metro Atlanta and South Georgia, delivering free health screenings (12,000+ annually via 48+ certified bilingual Community Health Workers), civic engagement programming (300,000+ voter touches per year through the Latinos for Democracy Coalition), Know Your Rights navigation, capacity building for 23+ member organizations, and grants and scholarships for students and micro-entrepreneurs.

LCF Georgia operates a federated membership model with three strategic pillars: Advancing People's Democracy, Protecting and Building Communities, and Expanding Economic Opportunity. Its technology stack is intentionally lightweight — community websites (UnidosGeorgia.com, LatinosForDemocracy.net), digital donation infrastructure (Givebutter), and social channels — with no proprietary software platform or AI capabilities. Core assets are human: a 100% bilingual/bicultural team of 15+ staff and contractors, a 14-member board drawn from senior corporate ranks, and embedded partnerships with consulates, universities (Emory, Morehouse, UGA), and national advocacy organizations (SPLC, NILC, CLASP, FRAC).

The organization's revenue model is philanthropic, funded through foundation grants, corporate sponsorships, individual donations, and a $1,000/year Giving Circle. Cumulative re-grants and direct support total over $6 million since inception, with annual re-granting ranging from $350K to $2M depending on emergency funding cycles. Recent signals — a $610K JPMorgan Chase grant in October 2025 and a five-director board expansion in January 2025 — indicate a deliberate scaling posture, while the absence of any parent organization or venture backing keeps LCF Georgia structurally independent.
