Let's Build Change Together
 Many of you have been a big part of getting LP to where it is today, but we need everyone to help us keep it going--in the United States, of every dollar given to non-profit organizations by foundations, just 1% is directed to Latino organizations. Of that one percent, only 11% goes to Latino organizations in the Midwest. That means it's up to people like us to make sure families have a place to turn. Join Latinos Progresando by becoming a "Hero" through our 100 Heroes campaign-you can join with a one-time gift of $100 or more, or a monthly pledge of just $10.
