Indiana University’s Latino Philanthropy Circle (LPC) is committed to empowering the Latino communities on all IU campuses.

With the launch of the Latino Philanthropy Circle, we are creating a platform for our Latino donors, alumni, and allies to unite and help us ensure an even brighter future for generations of IU’s Latino community.
