​Since 2007 the number of Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S. has grown from 1.7 million to over 3.2 million. Likewise, nonprofit organizations are serving the rapidly growing Latino population in a wide variety of human service, education, and community development areas.

The Institute is implementing a Financing Initiative to help bring together Hispanic entrepreneurs and nonprofits with sources of financing in the private, government, and foundation sectors. See our newsletter PANORAMA.

​The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, home of nearly four million U.S. citizens and a historic contributor to American culture, economy, and security, was devastated by Hurricane Maria in September, 2017. The Institute is doing its part to help Puerto Rican businesses, farmers, and families get back on their feet, including the vulnerable elderly population. We are operating the All Puerto Rico Senior Medicare Patrol to help Medicare recipients protect their health care benefits from fraud and abuse. See our newsletter PANORAMA.


Iniciativa para la Recuperacion de Puerto Rico

El Instituto esta ayudando a que se recuperen los empresarios, agricultores, y las familias, especialmente la vulnerable poblacion de envejecientes. Para ellos estamos operando la Patrulla Medicare Puerto Rico, enfocada en proteger los recipientes de Medicare contra el abuso de sus beneficios de salud. Vease nuestro noticiero PANORAMA.
