Hola comunidad,
It is with honor and gratitude that we announce, Familias en Acción is the recipient of a $2 million gift from the Yield Giving Open Call, an initiative created by philanthropist MacKenzie Scott.
In 2023, our Development team completed a multi-step application and peer-review process to apply for this funding opportunity. From a pool of over 6,000 applicants, we were one of 361 organizations across the country, and one of only three organizations in Oregon to receive an award.
This transformational gift will enable us to continue to deliver on our mission of strengthening the health and well-being of Latino families and communities in Oregon. It will allow us to sustain and expand programming statewide in Oregon, directly benefiting members of our community.
We want to thank all of our staff, board, community members, partners, and donors for helping us to get to this point. This award would not have been possible without everyone’s dedication to and belief in our health equity work.
Thank you for your continued support, partnership, and words of encouragement. This is the power of community.
In gratitude,
Familias en Acción
