SOCIAL WELFARE PROJECTS

Grants

An important part of the mission of the Asociación Latina is to contribute resources and assistance to disadvantaged Filipinos. Money raised from events is collected in a Social Welfare Projects Fund earmarked for grants to fulfill this very purpose. The Asociación is looking to collaborate with NGOs that are experts in their fields, driving projects that empower and transform the possibilities in the lives of the most vulnerable Filipinos through grants that can provide funding for specific projects of their organizations
