The Hispanic 100 (H100) Latina Giving Circle at Texas Women’s Foundation awarded $100,000 in grants to 18 North Texas area nonprofits serving the needs of Latina women and girls in low- and moderate-income communities. The grants were given as part of the Latina Living Legend (LLL) fundraising event at the Vouv on October 2nd honoring Alice Rodriguez as the 2025 Latina Living Legend and Aracely P. Muñoz as the 2025 Emerging Latina Award recipient. (See HERE for honorees).
The H100 Latina Giving Circle at Texas Women’s Foundation was established in 2019 by the Hispanic 100 Network to further engage Latinas in philanthropy, and to expand resources for local organizations whose mission is to empower, educate and support Latinas across North Texas.
Kim Cummings, Co-Chair of the Latina Giving Circle said, “Every member of the Hispanic 100 contributes to the Latina Giving Circle, and in partnership with the Texas Women’s Foundation we multiply our impact. Each year, we see far more requests than we can fund—a clear reminder that the need is great and our commitment is essential.”
Yareli Esteban, Co-Chair of the Latina Giving Circle, added “The Latina Giving Circle reflects the strength of collective philanthropy. We are building a sustainable path for Latina leadership and investing in solutions that uplift families for generations to come. To date, we are proud to have awarded $886,000 in grants through 195 organizations—investments that create dignity, opportunity, and a brighter future for Latina women and girls.”
