In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, our Latino POD wants to benefit the broader Latino community by supporting nonprofits that seek to improve the lives of Latinos through health, education and technology. 1. Chicana Latina Foundation empowers Chicanas Latinas through personal, educational, and professional advancement. 2. AltaMed Foundation, 'La Linterna’ program provides primary care and trauma-focused mental health resources to kids separated from their families at the border. The team is seeking to double the number of kids they serve. 3. Latinas in Tech supports Latinas internationally to thrive, innovate and lead in tech as well as those pursuing a career in tech. 4. Hispanic Scholarship Fund gives scholarships to Latino college student and is also the nation’s largest non-profit organization supporting Latinos pursuing higher education. HSF helped at least two of our VMware employees pay for college. We at VMware have an awesome community of change makers. Let’s come together as a VMware family to make change and support the Latino community. Please make a one-time contribution or set it up as monthly contribution and support our Latinos@VMware Social Justice Fund. Thank you!

We are excited to partner with a few organizations driving change and impact for Latina Leaders around the world. This fund as part of Cisco's investment in Community Impact, will be created to empower Latinas starting their tech careers and advancing throughout their professional journey.

We have selected some non-profits to highlight for our 2023 Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration. Each fund either supports Hispanic & Latinx education or focuses on increasing representation in tech.

As curated by Squarespace DICSR and Women+ ERG, this fund supports women’s creativity, autonomy, and advancement globally.
