About The Latino Donor Collaborative

Founded in 2010 to provide reliable data to help create a fact-based understanding of who Latinos are in the United States, and to create a narrative about Latinos in the US based on facts rather than myths, preconceptions, or stereotypes, this organization has developed more than 29 original research reports in partnership with some of the most reputable academic and think tank leaders, including Stanford University, Columbia University, Accenture, and Wells Fargo. These reports demonstrate the significant economic impact of American Latinos across all industries and levels.
