Hispano Foundation

What is the Hispano Chamber Foundation?

The Hispano Chamber Foundation is a 501(c) (3) entity and has no employees. The Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable and educational purposes which support, benefit, or carry out the purposes of the Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce. The Foundation has developed two specific areas of interest to the business community.

Education Excellence Scholarships

Empowering New Mexico’s future leaders. The future of New Mexico is determined by today's students. Hispano Chamber’s Education Excellence Awards program empowers our future leaders by providing an average of 100 students annually with college access, financial aid awareness, and scholarships.

The Hispano Chamber has taken steps to secure the Chamber’s economic future by establishing an endowment fund within the Albuquerque Community Foundation. The Endowment Fund provides the opportunity to make an investment in our economic development programs for long-term benefits and to achieve greater economic sustainability. We wanted to create a permanent mechanism to keep our programs self-sufficient economically, and to maintain a sustainable economy for today and tomorrow. The Endowment will help create economic sustainability and self-sufficiency in Albuquerque by supporting job training and creation, by investing in our members, and by promoting the start-up, growth, and attraction of businesses for a more vital and balanced economy.
