ABOUT LULSEF AND THIS GRANT
LUL Service & Education Fund exists to amplify the impact of initiatives that empower the Latino community in the areas of education, career advancement, and leadership development. We believe that by improving academic outcomes for K-12 students, preparing undergraduate college students for transition into their careers, and providing skills training and leadership development to individuals in the workforce, we can increase the percentage of Latinos who graduate from college, diminish the number of Latinos who live below the poverty line, and increase the median income of Latinos in the United States.
