What catholic association of latino leaders does

Catholic Association of Latino Leaders (CALL USA) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2021 and headquartered at 4311 Wilshire Blvd, 5th Floor, Los Angeles, CA. Its stated mission is to mobilize Catholic Latinos and empower them to become leaders in their communities, country, and church. The organization serves a single persona: Catholic Latino professionals and emerging leaders seeking to integrate their faith with career ambition, including business executives, entrepreneurs, and community leaders, as well as a secondary segment of young Catholic Latino professionals in early-to-mid career stages.

CALL delivers value through a community-led and event-driven operating model. Core offerings include a paid membership program (pricing not publicly disclosed), the annual Angel Awards gala (14th annual scheduled for September 26, 2026 at Cathedral Our Lady of the Angels, honoring Archbishop José H. Gomez), the Living the CALL podcast (co-produced with Spokestreet and hosted by Deacon Charlie Echeverry), executive keynotes on immigration and capital markets (the latter in partnership with USC Marshall and USC Gould schools), the annual Young Professionals Leadership Retreat at Mater Dolorosa, a Shroud of Turin science-and-faith presentation, and the Christmas Celebration & Dinner. Supporting programs include educational scholarships (a $100,000 ten-year commitment to the Catholic Education Foundation and a $75,000 five-year scholarship endowment at Loyola Marymount University), seminarian support, and multi-channel donor engagement.

Revenue is generated through a diversified nonprofit mix: membership dues, individual donations (online, mail, wire), planned giving and bequests, gifts of stocks and bonds, the Living Faith Society monthly recurring giving program, the CALL Founders Society high-tier donor program (minimum $50,000 annually), and Angel Awards event revenue (table sales, tickets, corporate sponsorships). CALL does not operate a proprietary technology platform; digital infrastructure consists of a Wix-hosted website, the DonorPerfect online giving portal, and standard social media channels (Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, X). Geographic focus is primarily the United States, with operational concentration in California (Los Angeles headquarters) and a media extension into Arizona via En Familia Radio 740AM in Phoenix.

Direct peers

• Legatus: Legatus is the most direct comparable: a Catholic membership organization specifically for Catholic CEOs, business owners, and senior executives, hosting monthly chapter meetings, an annual summit, and peer formation rooted in Catholic social teaching. CALL mirrors this model for the narrower Catholic Latino professional segment, sharing the membership-and-leadership-formation DNA.
• Catholic Leadership Institute: A nonprofit that delivers leadership formation programs, executive coaching, and consulting to Catholic bishops, priests, and lay leaders across the U.S. CLI overlaps with CALL on Catholic leadership formation for professionals and offers a comparable, though broader, formation curriculum.
• Tepeyac Association: A Latino Catholic community and advocacy organization offering faith formation, retreats, and lay leadership programs in the U.S. Tepeyac overlaps directly with CALL's primary segment (Catholic Latino adults seeking leadership formation) and competes for the same donor and volunteer base.
• National Association of Hispanic Catholic Ministers: A national Catholic organization supporting Hispanic/Latino Catholic ministers and lay leaders through formation, networking, and conferences. NAHCM operates in the same intersection of faith, Latino identity, and Catholic leadership pipeline as CALL, at a more ecclesial (rather than business-executive) tier.

Broad incumbents

• Knights of Columbus: The largest Catholic lay fraternal organization in the United States, with a member-base in the millions, insurance products, scholarships, and Catholic advocacy. It serves a much broader Catholic male audience and represents the dominant incumbent CALL must position against when recruiting members and donors.
• Catholic Charities USA: The national Catholic social-services network operating diocesan agencies nationwide, with multi-billion-dollar combined revenues. CALL's grantmaking activity (e.g., $5,000 to Catholic Charities' Cuban Initiative) is downstream of such large incumbents, and they share the faith-based donor and volunteer pool.
• EWTN Catholic Radio/TV: The largest Catholic media network in the U.S. CALL's media expansion — the Living the CALL podcast and the launch of En Familia Radio 740AM — competes for the same Spanish- and English-language Catholic audio audience that EWTN dominates.
• Catholic Extension: A national Catholic fundraising and grantmaking organization supporting underserved dioceses, seminarians, and lay formation across the U.S. CALL's seminary support, scholarships, and diocesan-level giving sit in the same funding-and-formation lane, with Catholic Extension as the much larger incumbent.

Others

• Archdiocese of Los Angeles Office of Ministry with Catholics of African Descent & Hispanic Ministry: The official Hispanic Ministry office of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. CALL's founder Archbishop Gomez is the head of this archdiocese, making the archdiocesan Hispanic ministry office both a feeder and a structural counterpart for Hispanic lay-leadership formation in the same geography.
• Lumen Christi Award / diocesan Catholic leadership awards (e.g., Archdiocese of Los Angeles awards): Diocesan and archdiocesan Catholic recognition programs that award Catholic lay leaders annually. The Angel Awards is structurally similar to these diocesan Catholic leadership awards, and the larger archdiocesan programs are both a peer format and a potential venue for CALL honorees.
