Advocacy Framework

Our framework is centered around the following principles:

  • We are committed to utilizing our voice as a means to inform our stakeholders and the philanthropic sector about the issues affecting the Latine community. We strive to foster understanding and awareness of the issues affecting our Latine community. 

  • We are committed to elevating the critical issues that can lead to systemic change and sector reform. This is a fundamental part of our advocacy work.

    By challenging the narratives and bringing Latine issues to the forefront, we aim to drive meaningful transformation across the philanthropic sector.

  • We recognize that white supremacy culture has profound impacts on our communities. By addressing these issues and emphasizing Latine concerns concerning land, labor, and imperialism, we aim to effect change at a deeper level.

The criteria that ground our decision-making process when selecting advocacy issues for CLIP to support are based on the following four pillars:

  • Influencing philanthropy

  • Elevating Latine issues

  • Amplifying community-led initiatives

  • Fostering collaborations with affinity partners
