HIP’s membership includes staff and trustees of grantmaking institutions, individual philanthropists, and nonprofit service and advocacy organizations serving Latino communities. Our members represent a growing network of Latino leaders working to strengthen Latino communities across the Americas.
While HIP is first and foremost an association of grantmakers, we recognize the contributions which others make to the field and maintain an open organization which includes nonprofits, consultants and academics. In order to maintain the integrity of our network and to maximize participation at HIP events and gatherings, HIP maintains a strict "No Solicitation" policy. HIP gatherings, events, convenings, and meetings are not a forum for fundraising and prospecting.
Membership Levels
HIP has four membership levels and benefits to meet the diverse needs of our network.

We encourage foundations, other grantmaking entities and individual philanthropists to take a leadership role in the guidance and development of HIP’s mission and invite them to join as Institutional Members.
