Join us in celebrating cultural wealth and supporting Capaces’ mission to strengthen the wellness, capacity, and political consciousness of leaders, organizations, networks, and communities to eliminate social disparities. We invite you to support Capaces Leadership Institute’s Annual Benefit on September 18, 2024. This year’s theme, “Celebrando Nuestra Riqueza Comunitaria—Celebrating Our Community Wealth,” reflects our community’s rich tapestry of traditions, stories, and talents.

As a 501(c) (3) nonprofit serving Latino/e, Afrodescendientes, and Indigenous communities, Capaces is dedicated to fostering leadership and innovation. Our programs support and uplift our youth, families, and community. In June, our TURNO after-school program graduated a cohort of six first-generation college-bound students. Our Community Health Worker Hub also launched the Oregon Health Authority-approved CHW training with ten Spanish-speaking community members. Our program will spotlight leaders who exemplify Community Wealth through arts and culture, education, entrepreneurship, and civic engagement.

Your sponsorship ensures this event’s success in raising $30K to continue providing educational and leadership programming opportunities for approximately 20% of Oregon’s Latine population.
