History

In 1977, three first generation Latinas (Yolanda Ronquillo, Olga Terrazas, and Margaret Santos) who attended the University of California, Berkeley decided to form the foundation to help future generations of Latina college students.[10] The founding of the organization drew inspiration from Comisión Femenil Mexicana Nacional.[11] The first Executive Director was Olga Talamante.[12] [13] In 2014, the organization created a program to provide home Internet access for low-income children.

The Chicana/Latina Foundation is a Latino-serving nonprofit organization granted funds by the San Francisco-based Latino Community Foundation, which has focused organizations led by Hispanics for Hispanics through Hispanic donors.[14]
