OHIO HISPANIC COALITION

What OHIO HISPANIC COALITION does

Ohio Hispanic Coalition (OHCO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 1990 and headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, delivering culturally and linguistically appropriate services to the Hispanic and Latino community across the state. The organization operates two principal service divisions — Human and Civil Rights (encompassing the Soy Latina domestic violence and sexual assault victim services program, legal clinic services, interpretation/translation, and human rights advocacy) and Education, Technology and Workforce (comprising the Niños en Acción afterschool and summer camp program, Latino Career Development / Latinos in Finance program, and the youth-led Juventud en Acción initiative). Supporting these divisions, the Promotores de Salud community health worker program stations bilingual/bicultural staff at federally-qualified health centers and has served over 85,501 patients through interpretation and health education.

OHCO's business model is grant- and donation-funded rather than revenue-generating from service fees. All direct services are provided free of charge to community members; the organization's income streams consist of government grants (federal sources including HHS Family & Youth Services Bureau; state sources including Ohio Department of Health and the Office of the Ohio Attorney General; and county-level contracts), private foundation awards (Honda Foundation, Harry C Moores Foundation, The Columbus Foundation, United Way of Central Ohio, ADAMH Board of Franklin County), corporate partnerships (Morgan Stanley for workforce development; Land-Grant Brewing Company for the Las Pilas beer collaboration), national network affiliations (UnidosUS), and individual donations processed via PayPal Charity. Geographic coverage spans Central Ohio (Franklin, Delaware, Marion counties) and Northwest Ohio (Defiance, Lorain, Sandusky, Fulton, Henry, Putnam, Wood counties).

OHCO's go-to-market is community-led, relying on trusted relationships cultivated over 35 years of operation, peer referrals within the Hispanic community, and referrals from partner organizations. The organization maintains an active digital presence (Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, blog, email newsletter) and runs cultural and community events to drive awareness and engagement. No proprietary technology platform underpins the model; the underlying infrastructure consists of standard productivity and communications tools (Wix, PayPal Charity, ZOOM, Google Forms), with the core "platform" being the bilingual/bicultural staff themselves.
