Juanita Sanchez Fund

The Juanita Sanchez Community Fund was established in 1992 through the contributions of friends and family of Juanita Sanchez to memorialize her life as a leader, organizer, and long-time believer in fighting for the unmet needs and rights of Latinos. The fund provides support for Rhode Island’s Latino community by offering grant assistance to a broad range of nonprofit organizations working for the betterment of the Latino people in the state.

Grants from the Juanita Sanchez Community Fund may support any nonprofit that works toward enriching or improving the lives of Latinos in Rhode Island. Grants generally range between $500 and $1,500, depending upon the number of quality of proposals.

The Juanita Sanchez Community Fund will accept no more than one application per organization in any given year.
