Last week, more than 100 community members joined us for Latino Monologues y Dialogues—an evening celebrating the stories and leadership of Austin’s vibrant Latino community. There, Sylvia Acevedo shared her remarkable journey, reflecting on how education can transform lives and open countless doors. Her story reinforced a message central to the Hispanic Impact Fund’s mission: when Latinos have the opportunity to thrive, our entire region benefits.

This year, ACF's Hispanic Impact Fund will award $550,000 to nonprofits advancing economic mobility for Latino Central Texans. Learn more and support this work at austincf.org/hispanicimpactfund.
