"Creo que para nosotros poder seguir teniendo éxito, como Latinos, como Kansas City, tenemos que ver uno al otro en como podemos ayudar a otras personas."

Ese es el espíritu de HDF. Aquí les compartimos un corto de nuestro Presidente de la mesa directiva, Ramón Murguía. Por muchos años, Ramón se a dedicado a elevar nuestro trabajo y la importancia de la educación. Quizás no lo conozcan por lo mismo que no le gustan los reconocimientos, pero si no fuera por el, HDF no seria lo que es hoy. Muchas Gracias Ramón!

Thank you to everyone who was willing to share a little bit about your journey, we look forward to highlighting your stories!

To begin we're excited to uplift Xavier Salas. A 2025 graduate of Columbia University in the City of New York, Xavier recently earned his Master of Social Work.

For many first-generation students, the path to higher education can feel isolating, this was no different for Xavier. His advice: find community.

“Having people who can guide you through both the academic and emotional aspects of this field makes a significant difference, especially for first-generation students or those from underrepresented backgrounds.”

We have more in common than we think.

At our first-ever En Común Student Summit, students connected over shared experiences, learned about campus life, and walked away with tools to support their mental health and college journey. More than anything, they left knowing they are not alone.

A huge thank you to keynote speaker Luis from Storytellers For Change for the powerful reminder that our roots and our stories are our strength.

Big news for our high school students! 🥳

38 GCHS students were surprised by the Hispanic Development Fund with the announcement of $64,000 in scholarships, the most awarded to any school in Kansas City.

These scholarships were made possible through funds raised during the Cambio para Cambio fundraiser during Hispanic Heritage Month, where our high school raised the most funds !

We are incredibly proud of our students and thankful for the support that helps make their college dreams possible. 🎓

¡Grandes noticias para nuestros estudiantes de preparatoria! 🥳

38 estudiantes de GCHS fueron sorprendidos por el Hispanic Development Fund con el anuncio de $64,000 en becas, la mayor cantidad otorgada a una escuela en Kansas City.

Estas becas fueron posibles gracias a los fondos recaudados durante la campaña Cambio para Cambio celebrada durante el Mes de la Herencia Hispana, donde nuestra preparatoria fue la que recaudó más fondos!

Estamos increíblemente orgullosos de nuestros estudiantes y agradecidos por el apoyo que ayuda a hacer posibles sus sueños universitarios. 🎓
