Unleashing the Power of Love in Philanthropy

word love on black background
Leading a foundation with the largest network of civically engaged Latino philanthropists, social justice warrior Jacqueline Martinez Garcel is a force. On a mission to unleash the power of Latinos, the Latino Community Foundation seeks to radically change the concept, purpose and pathway to philanthropy by returning to its core roots: love. At a critical moment in our nation’s history, the rising groups of Latino leaders are fighting the battles of racism and classism that are raging in our country by honing in on the healing and redemptive power of love. Driven by change and impact, not charity – Jacqueline will share with us how the work of LCF is radicalizing the power of dynamics that have crept into the field of philanthropy and have held the sector captive in an oppressive and counterintuitive style. The ultimate objective for her is to liberate capital and invest in grassroots movements and leaders that will drive us CLOSER to a more just and representative democracy. I am all in.
