NHLI A Catalyst for Latina Empowerment
Celebrating 20 Years of Achievement


The National Hispana Leadership Institute’s (NHLI) Mid-Career Fellowship was the catalyst for launching my business, D&P Creative Strategies, two and a half years ago. NHLI gave me the self-confidence to follow my dream of creating a business that would allow my partner, Catherine, and I to give back to the communities that matter so much to us.

We stepped out of our comfort zone and created a very successful business that has surpassed our wildest dreams. I am just one example among thousands of Latinas who have been empowered by the NHLI experience. click to link to article

Latinas in Philanthropy

Mention philanthropy, and an image of a primly dressed Manhattan socialite tapping the Rockefellers or the Motts for the latest cause du jour might spring to mind. Philanthropy, though, is changing, and so are its players.

Hispanics are becoming more and more involved in the philanthropic world, on both the receiving and giving ends, and they’re doing their part to ensure Latino organizations are thought of as worthy options for the corporations, foundations and private citizens eager to donate money... click to link to article
