Our accomplishments

The Hispanic Access Foundation has a long list of accomplishments, large and small. We’re particularly proud that:

  • We have directly assisted more than 100,000 Latinos in improving their lives.

  • Mobilized local-led, grassroots campaigns to establish 11 national monuments and a national Marine Sanctuary, protecting 3.9 million acres of land and water, ensuring Latino heritage and conservation priorities are recognized.

  • We have placed more than 800 young Latinos in internships helping to expose them to new careers through our MANO Project.

  • We have developed a strong, trust-based relationship with Latino faith leaders, who serve as a connector and help enhance our credibility within the community.

  • Latino Conservation Week continues to grow – 2024 was celebrated with more than 360 events by more than 190 partners.

  • Our tax education program, in partnership with H&R Block, directly assisted more than 57,000 in understanding and navigating the American tax system.

  • We helped to permanently reauthorize the Land and Water Conservation Fund – a critical tool in providing the Latino and other diverse communities with access to the outdoors.

  • Our Hispanic Leadership Network is developing the capacity and skillset of Latino faith leaders and by 2025, we will have had more than 150 leaders complete the one-year program.

  • We have produced multiple short films -- "Milk and Honey," "Land, Water y Comunidad," "Canto del Mar,"  and "I Am Cheo" -- which have elevated the Latino voice on conservation issues affecting their community.

  • Our CDC-funded cancer awareness program led to more than 1,500 Latinos being screened for breast and colorectal cancer.
