Grant Writer Consultant

Proposals are due on January 4, 2023

Founded in 2010, Hispanic Access Foundation is a 501(c)(3) national nonprofit organization that connects Latinos with partners and opportunities to improve lives and create an equitable society. We work in the areas of health outreach, financial literacy, workforce development, and environmental justice. Ultimately, we establish bridges for the development and rise of Latino leaders and elevate their voices in areas where they are underrepresented. Our core values are trust, dedication, excellence, service to nuestra comunidad and versatility. We deliver exceptional results with nimbleness and corazon.

Hispanic Access’ development team has a track record of winning federal grant applications across a number of agencies, including the Health Resources and Services Administration, the National Park Service, US Fish and Wildlife Service, USDA Forest Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and more. As the organization continues to grow, we seek to add capacity to our federal grants program and pursue more opportunities to partner with agencies who seek to resource Latino communities across the country.

By strategically stewarding the resources entrusted to us, our initiatives, programs and grassroots outreach efforts empower and inspire individuals to reach for a brighter future, for themselves, their families, and their communities. Together, we can help transform Latino lives.
