Nonprofits to Support in Hispanic Heritage Month 2025

From September 15 to October 15, Hispanic Heritage Month invites us to celebrate the history, culture, and countless contributions of Latine communities across the United States. It’s a time to honor traditions, elevate voices, and recognize the diverse communities that continue to shape our collective story.

This month is also more than a celebration — it’s a reminder of the urgent challenges facing many Latine communities today. In this moment where Latine communities – immigrant or not — are experiencing increased surveillance in their homes, workplaces, and businesses, we want to encourage our partners to focus on supporting immigrant rights and legal protections this month.

For those curious about the language we use — whether “Latine” or “Hispanic”— this resource offers further context and perspectives.

In recognition of this month, we invite you to explore and support the organizations below. Each one is advancing immigrant and worker rights across the country, with a focus on uplifting Latine communities. 

National Latine Organizations

Tides Foundation’s Immigrants Belong Fund promotes a pro-immigrant future by investing in the storytelling power of immigrant communities and proximate leaders at the forefront of community change.

Labor Council for Latin American Advancement (LCLAA) is the leading national organization for Latine workers and their families. LCLAA was born out of the need to educate, organize and mobilize Latines in the labor movement and has expanded its influence to organize Latines in an effort to impact workers’ rights and their influence in the political process. 

National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) improves the lives of day laborers, migrants, and low-wage workers. NDLON builds leadership and power among those facing injustice so they can challenge inequality and expand labor, civil, and political rights for all.

With its core purpose being to empower communities to ensure human dignity, the UFW Foundation has mobilized farm workers across the country to advocate for more equitable policies like immigration reform, pesticide protections, heat standards, hazard pay, and other worker protections 

United We Dream is the largest immigrant youth-led network in the country. Together, they advocate for education, economic, racial, gender, reproductive and environmental justice. They advocate to build power within our communities, justice, and dignity for all–regardless of immigration status.
