For the past 15 years, the Progreso Latino Fund has built Latino leadership and brought people together around issues of importance to Latinos in Greater New Haven and beyond. As the fastest growing population, the Latino community has been an increasingly important driver of change in the region. From forums to fundraisers, the Progreso Latino Fund has been there to increase the philanthropic potential of this emerging "majority minority" and its friends to educate, inform and collaborate. To kick off Hispanic Heritage Month 2018 we celebrate our quinceañera – looking back at our past and looking towards the future.
SPONSORS: Yale, Hispanic Federation, Webster Bank, Yale New Haven Health, Community Solutions Inc., Integrated Wellness Group and Planned Parenthood of Southern New England.
