Kroger, an American retailer mainly found in the Midwest, recently announced a generous donation of $1 million to Hispanic organizations that are dedicated to empowering and advancing the Hispanic community, families, and entrepreneurship. This donation aims to support and promote Latino businesses in the United States. The recipients of Kroger's donation include prominent organizations such as the Hispanic Heritage Foundation, the Hispanic Federation, and the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce Educational Fund. By partnering with these organizations, Kroger is actively contributing to the growth and success of Hispanic-owned businesses, further strengthening the economic impact of Hispanic entrepreneurship in the country.
In addition to Kroger's donation, the Dallas-based Tricolor Foundation has also made a significant contribution to support higher education in Hispanic communities. The foundation, a nonprofit organization, has announced $200,000 in gifts to remove systemic barriers preventing Hispanics from pursuing a better quality of life through education. The initial community contributions include newly endowed scholarships for Hispanic students at community colleges identified as Hispanic-Serving Institutions by the U.S. Department of Education. The Tricolor Foundation also unveiled its first Tricolor Foundation Visionaries, individuals who serve as examples of the achievements and potential of the Hispanic community. The foundation focuses on financial literacy, life skills, and higher education, aiming to empower and uplift Hispanic individuals in their pursuit of education and a brighter future.
