Overview
The Latino Community Foundation (LCF), headquartered in San Francisco, was established in 1989 to create a vehicle to build Latino philanthropy by investing in community partners working to support Latino families. Since 2008, teen pregnancy prevention has been at the forefront of the issues that LCF addresses. Although in California and the United States, teen birth rates have decreased dramatically in recent years, the rate among Latina teens remains high. This grant would be used by LCF to provide resources each year for seven to ten Latino-based organizations in the San Francisco Bay Area that directly serve Latino youth, with a focus on primary and secondary pregnancy prevention.
