ABOUT THE NC LATINX COLLABORATIVE (NCLC):

The NC Latinx Collaborative is a funder intermediary that houses a community fund dedicated to supporting Latinx-led and serving grassroots organizations across North Carolina. The NCLC is currently made up of contributing foundations, Latinx-led organizations, and community-based groups representing all three regions of our state, as well as both urban and rural contexts. The work is guided by both a Unifying Council (made up of representatives from 9 Latinx-led organizations) and a Steering Committee (made up of foundation representatives who also provide oversight for the finances and staffing of the collaborative). These two bodies, with the support of a Project Director, have helped develop and implement the NCLC’s priorities.

Mission: We work together to strengthen the capacity, resilience, and power of groups led by Latinx people in North Carolina. We do this through:

• The redistribution of financial resources through a participatory community fund.
• The creation of co-conspiracy spaces (capacity building, training, healing spaces).

Vision: We work collectively to build a stronger state where Latino communities and all communities can thrive and feel connected to their own power.

Values: We are pro-Black, pro-Indigenous, pro-Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer, pro-worker, and pro-migrant because we recognize that our work towards collective liberation includes ALL members of our community. (Language borrowed from Mijente Principles of Unity)

Southern Vision Alliance (SVA) currently serves as the fiscal sponsor for the Collaborative. To learn more, please visit: https://nclatinxcollaborative.org/
