What we do

Our Approach: The Four C’s

NALCAB advances national economic prosperity through 4 Cs: capital, capacity, collective voice, and comunidad. We believe that when Latino families and entrepreneurs thrive, the entire nation thrives.

Capital

Offering member organizations low-cost loans, loan guarantees, grants, and impact investment opportunities to  sustain or grow their work. NALCAB also connects members to external funding opportunities and provides guidance on accessing federal, corporate, and philanthropic capital.

Capacity

Providing individualized  capacity building, technical assistance, webinars and workshops, and training  to members. We meet our members where they are and partner with them to grow programs that make lasting change by addressing topics such as:
Designing and delivering effective programs
· Program and organizational sustainability
· Performance indicators and data management tools
· Leadership development
· CDFI certification

Collective Voice

Advocating at the local, state and federal levels on key issues affecting our members and their communities. Providing advisory services and recommendations to government agencies and congressional offices.

Comunidad

Building community by bringing nonprofits together and fostering peer-to-peer connections through  NALCAB’s annual National Conference, regional Cafecitos, roundtables, and convenings.
