FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE. Somos El Poder Celebrates Major Milestone: 250 Members Strong and Growing

Somos El Poder proudly announces that it has reached a new milestone, 250 members! Among our members include Latinx-led nonprofit organizations, individual professionals, and individual student members across the U.S

This growth marks a powerful moment for our community of fundraising professionals. We have gone a long way in 3 years since our first public announcement in March 2022, when we celebrated just 50 members. Somos El Poder was founded during the pandemic in late 2020 and has experienced tremendous expansion in both reach and impact since then. With less than 5 years in existence, Today, we are proud to stand as a key national organization dedicated to building fundraising capacity within the Latinx nonprofit sector.

“Reaching 250 members is more than just a milestone for us,” said Armando Zumaya, Founder and Executive Director of Somos El Poder. “It represents the continuous growth, commitment to the trainings, and the growth in leadership of Latinx fundraisers who are changing the face of philanthropy in the United States.”

Somos El Poder’s growing membership includes a wide array of grassroots, community-based, and national organizations, as well as development professionals working across sectors. With access to online training monthly and through our La Vanguardia cohorts, consulting, peer learning through our Juntos Podemos community, and national in-person events like Fundraising Con Ganas, members are helping to shape a stronger, more just, and more sustainable fundraising ecosystem for all our communities in need across the U.S.

Our 250 members are not just participants—they are partners in building a movement for resource equity, representation, and leadership development in philanthropy.
