Two of our team members, Francesca and Yadira, left the Progreso Latino Fund event in New Haven feeling energized by the strength of Latine philanthropy!   Key takeaways: The Latine community is generous, giving a larger portion of its wealth. Latine philanthropy amplifies voices and gives the Latine community a seat at the table. Latine small businesses are growing faster than any other group!   The Foundation is proud to be part of this movement lifting up our community! #waterburyct #litchfieldhills #connecticut #latinosinCT
