La comunidad se construye a través de las relaciones.

El mes pasado, el Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de la LCFC, Carlos Martínez, y Rosalind Santos Hall, Directora de Liderazgo e Inversión, viajaron por el sur de Colorado para conectarse con los líderes, organizaciones y comunidades que están dando forma al futuro de nuestro estado.

Desde Servicios de La Raza y Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation en Pueblo, hasta Soul Players of the Valley San Luis, San Luis Valley Immigrant Resource Center, Shooting Stars Cultural and Leadership Center , líderes comunitarios en Alamosa y el Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center, cada visita fue una oportunidad para escuchar, aprender y celebrar el trabajo que ya está sucediendo en el terreno.

En la LCFC, creemos que las mejores soluciones provienen de la comunidad. Gracias a todas las organizaciones, líderes y socios que nos dieron la bienvenida a sus espacios y compartieron sus historias. Su trabajo continúa inspirando y guiando el nuestro.

Community is built through relationships.

Last month, LCFC President & CEO Carlos Martinez and Rosalind Santos-Hall, Director of Leadership & Nonprofit Investment, traveled across Southern Colorado to connect with the leaders, organizations, and communities shaping the future of our state.

From Servicios de La Raza and Pueblo Hispanic Education Foundation in Pueblo, to Soul Players of the Valley San Luis, San Luis Valley Immigrant Resource Center, Shooting Stars Cultural and Leadership Center , community leaders in Alamosa, and the Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center, each visit was an opportunity to listen, learn, and celebrate the work already happening on the ground.

At LCFC, we believe the best solutions come from community. Thank you to every organization, leader, and partner who welcomed us into your spaces and shared your stories. Your work continues to inspire and guide ours.

National Immigrant Heritage Month reminds us that the strength of our communities comes from the stories, talents, dreams, and generosity that people bring with them.

At LCFC, we recognize that philanthropy is woven into the immigrant experience. Long before a charitable gift is ever made, many immigrants are already giving, investing in their families, supporting loved ones across borders, opening doors for others, and building stronger communities for everyone.

That spirit of generosity, resilience, and collective care helps make our neighborhoods, schools, businesses, and civic life more vibrant.

Happy National Immigrant Heritage Month!



En español:
El Mes Nacional de la Herencia del Inmigrante nos recuerda que la fortaleza de nuestras comunidades proviene de las historias, talentos, sueños y generosidad que las personas traen consigo.

En la LCFC, reconocemos que la filantropía está entretejida en la experiencia de los inmigrantes. Mucho antes de que se haga una donación caritativa, muchos inmigrantes ya están dando, invirtiendo en sus familias, apoyando a sus seres queridos a través de las fronteras, abriendo puertas para otros y construyendo comunidades más fuertes para todos.

Ese espíritu de generosidad, resiliencia y cuidado colectivo ayuda a que nuestros vecindarios, escuelas, negocios y vida cívica sean más vibrantes.

¡Feliz Mes Nacional de la Herencia de los Inmigrantes!

On this International Day of Families, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience that lives at the heart of our communities. 💛

At LCFC, we honor familia not just as a value, but as a responsibility—to protect, uplift, and stand alongside one another.

That’s why we’re proud to partner with RMIAN, whose work reminds us that keeping families together is not guaranteed—it’s something that must be defended every day. Through legal services and advocacy, they stand with immigrants facing uncertainty, helping ensure that parents can stay with their children, that futures remain intact, and that dignity is never up for debate.

Because celebrating families also means showing up for them—especially when it matters most.

En español:
En este Día Internacional de las Familias, celebramos la fuerza, el amor y la resiliencia que viven en el corazón de nuestras comunidades. 💛

En LCFC, honramos a la familia no solo como un valor, sino como una responsabilidad: protegernos, elevarnos y estar uno al lado del otro.

Es por eso que estamos orgullosos de asociarnos con RMIAN, cuyo trabajo nos recuerda que mantener unidas a las familias no está garantizado, es algo que debe defenderse todos los días. A través de servicios legales y defensa, apoyan a los inmigrantes que enfrentan incertidumbre, ayudando a garantizar que los padres puedan quedarse con sus hijos, que el futuro permanezca intacto y que la dignidad nunca esté en debate.

Porque celebrar a las familias también significa estar presentes por ellas, especialmente cuando más importa.
