Latino Community Association

What Latino Community Association does

Latino Community Association (LCA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2000 (originating as the El Programa de Ayuda hotline established in 1994) that provides immigration, legal, health, workforce, and family support services to Latino and immigrant families across Central Oregon. Headquartered in Bend, Oregon, LCA operates four physical offices across Deschutes, Jefferson, and Crook counties (Bend, Redmond, Madras, Prineville) and delivers services in English and Spanish through bilingual, bicultural staff at no cost to community members. In its 25th year of operation, the organization provides 16,000+ services annually with support from a network that contributed 4,108 volunteer hours last year.

LCA runs an integrated portfolio of eight program areas: Family Empowerment (client navigation, tax preparation, ITIN assistance, notary, and translation); Healthy Families (Oregon Health Plan enrollment, healthcare connections, and mental health workshops); Immigration Legal Services (work authorization, DACA, asylum, citizenship, and adjustment-of-status filings); Citizenship Prep; Workforce Development (English and computer classes, small-business training, and job connections); Community Engagement (Latino Fest, Welcoming Week, Día de los Muertos); Advocacy (Know Your Rights, Rapid Response Network, MigraWatch, youth leadership, and state policy work); and English Language Learning. The organization holds Recognized Organization status under the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Legal Access Programs, authorizing its attorneys and Accredited Representatives to provide immigration legal services, and operates as a network partner of Oregon's Universal Representation Program via Equity Corps of Oregon. The organization does not operate a technology platform; service delivery is conducted in person, by phone, by email, and through community workshops, supplemented by Mexican Consulate mobile clinics.

LCA's revenue is generated through individual donations (including the tiered LCA Amigos monthly/annual giving program with tiers at $25/month, $100/month, $5,000/year, and $10,000+/year), one-time contributions, corporate event sponsorships (Latino Fest, Empowering Families Luncheon, Welcoming Week, Día de los Muertos), employer matching programs, and a small fee-for-service stream providing cultural consultation, Spanish translation/interpretation, and cultural competency training to partner organizations and businesses across Central Oregon. The organization is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors and staffed by approximately 24 personnel distributed across executive leadership, immigration, workforce, healthy families, and family empowerment teams.
