Good Afternoon!!
In January, we raised $445.00 for the United Negro College Fund. As a group based on Men of Color, we must examine walks of education which provide a comprehensive set of programs forming a pipeline that supports students from pre-college to college to post-graduate success (for all students of color).
The Hispanic College Fund (a future SecOps Angels Charity Drive spotlight) is a national non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C., with a mission to develop the next generation of Hispanic professionals. For 19 years, the Hispanic College Fund has provided educational, scholarship, and mentoring programs to students throughout the United States and Puerto Rico, establishing a career pipeline of talented and career-driven Hispanics.
The Hispanic College Fund has awarded millions of dollars, impacting thousands of students through high school to college to career. HCF has been recognized by USA Today as one of the nation’s top 25 charities and has twice received Charity Navigator’s top four-star rating for fiscal responsibility. In 2010, the College Board recognized HCF for program innovation. Please visit: http://www.hispanicfund.org/ to learn more!
A sister organization, The Hispanic Scholarship Fund, believes that the country prospers when all Americans have access to the opportunities a college education can afford. As the nation’s leading Hispanic higher education fund, HSF works to address the barriers that keep many Latinos from earning a college degree.
In addition to scholarship opportunities for deserving Latino students, they offer a broad range of outreach and educational programming to help students and their families navigate through the rigors of college life. The HSF has several programs developed from its original foundation, collaborates with hundreds of colleges across America, and assists with college transitioning for Hispanic high school students.
Both these organizations are PHENOMENAL, and their philanthropic efforts have proven such. If you are interested in contributing to these charity and/or inquiring to learn more about it, please visit: http://www.hsf.net/default.aspx. One will be featured as a SecOps Angels Donation Drive Beneficiary in the near future, feel free to read up on them in the meantime!
These charities will be featured on the SecOps Charity spotlight on our new blog!
Be Blessed Gents
