These organizations have made difference for my family and community

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, our Latino POD wants to benefit the broader Latino community by supporting nonprofits that seek to improve the lives of Latinos through health, education and technology. 1. Chicana Latina Foundation empowers Chicanas Latinas through personal, educational, and professional advancement. 2. AltaMed Foundation, 'La Linterna’ program provides primary care and trauma-focused mental health resources to kids separated from their families at the border. The team is seeking to double the number of kids they serve. 3. Latinas in Tech supports Latinas internationally to thrive, innovate and lead in tech as well as those pursuing a career in tech. 4. Hispanic Scholarship Fund gives scholarships to Latino college student and is also the nation’s largest non-profit organization supporting Latinos pursuing higher education. HSF helped at least two of our VMware employees pay for college. We at VMware have an awesome community of change makers. Let’s come together as a VMware family to make change and support the Latino community. Please make a one-time contribution or set it up as monthly contribution and support our Latinos@VMware Social Justice Fund. Thank you!

In partnership with The LaunchDarkly Foundation, we’ll be allocating resources to nonprofit partners aligned with the needs of our ERG’s community. The selected partners for our LaunchDarkly Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Fund support civil rights, education, and full participation in the American political process. LaunchDarkly will directly contribute $5,000 and match up to $400/person

We have selected some non-profits to highlight for our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. Each fund either supports Hispanic education or focuses on increasing representation in tech.

As part of the Braze ERG Grant Program, the SOMOS Employee Resource Group has opted to support the following three nonprofit organizations with the goal of creating equal opportunity for members of Latinx/Hispanic communities. The Braze ERG Grant Program allows each ERG to direct up to $30,000 of Braze's donor-advised fund (each of the three organizations will receive a $10,000 cash donation). For Giving Tuesday, we are making it easy for employees to give directly to causes supported by Braze ERGs. As a reminder, each Braze employee has a donation matching benefit of $100 annually to take your impact even further.

Let's make Hispanic Heritage Month unforgettable together! Join Somoskind in our fundraiser and be a driving force behind positive change in our community. Be part of the celebrations and make a lasting impact today!
