Overview
In 2006, 72 percent of all teen births in California were to Latinas. The Latino Community Foundation works to reverse this trend as part of its broader efforts to improve opportunities for Latino children and their families. Recommended funds would enable this organization to award grants to Latino-led organizations serving the San Francisco Bay Area that provide family planning services to Latino teens and young adults. This support would complement the Hewlett Foundation's existing local grants by reaching smaller organizations than those we typically fund. Using its first Hewlett grant over the past two years, the Latino Community Foundation carried out a rigorous grantee selection process and added value to our funding by providing ongoing technical assistance to the small community-based organizations it supports. Due to a reduced Serving Bay Area Communities budget, this planned two-year renewal grant has been scaled back to one year.
