Progreso Dishin’

by Gone Dishin' | Jun 29, 2006 11:18 am

The Progreso Latino Fund was established “to promote the educational and socio-economic well being of Latinos in the City of New Haven and the region, with special attention given to Puerto Rican youth.” Having been established a mere two years ago, it has been an important initiative of the Community Foundation of Greater New Haven.
To date, the initial goal of raising $50,000 has been achieved and matched by CFGNH to bring it to the $105,000 mark. This year, it is hoped that the group will raise another $150,000 and begin the process of making small grants ($500-$1,000) that will be leveraged by collaborations to maximize impact. Additionally, they will continue to host forums in the style of “community conversations” on provocative and timely topics.
