Investing in Our Leaders

You invest your time. We invest in you.

Sponsored memberships available for Latino Philanthropy Circle

Are you passionate about uplifting Hispanic and Latino people and communities? Are you eager to make a difference at IU and beyond? Add your voice to the Latino Philanthropy Circle (LPC)!

Expanding access to opportunities across all IU campuses is an essential part of the LPC’s mission. Through the Investing in Our Leaders Program, we sponsor a limited number of memberships for individuals who are qualified in every way, but for whom a $5,000 annual gift (the minimum for active membership) to the LPC Initiatives Fund presents a barrier to participation.

LPC Investing in Our Leaders Program

Philanthropy comes in many forms. As part of the Latino Philanthropy Circle, your vision, leadership, and ideas can help make a difference in people’s lives. Apply now for a confidential sponsored membership.

  • Receive complimentary active membership with voting privileges in the Latino Philanthropy Circle.
  • Work with a group of passionate donors and leaders dedicated to supporting Latino and Hispanic students, faculty, staff, and communities.
