messaging and language, and even in governance. Given the pressing social and economic challenges we face, this effort has never been more important.”
– Blackbaud, Diversity in Giving

How Do Latinos Give: Hispanic Federation’s New York Survey
As education and income increase, so does giving.
Latinos with more education and income are also more likely to support nonfaith-based community organizations and charitable causes.
Overall giving increases with age.
Latinos who are registered to vote are more likely to report giving than those who are not registered.
Giving rates are higher among bilingual and English-dominant Hispanics.
The longer Latinos have lived in New York, the more likely they are to make charitable contributions.
