Thanks to your generosity, we reached our initial $20K milestone during our 20th Anniversary Celebration — and surpassed our $40K year-end goal! 🎉

What began as a campaign honoring 20 years of leadership has quickly grown into a collective show of belief in what Conexión makes possible. Together, this community demonstrated what can happen when people continue to show up and invest in the leaders and communities that matter.

With this momentum, we’re building toward our next milestone — $50,000 by March 31 — as part of our October–October annual campaign.

Make Your Mark brings together generosity throughout the year to support nonprofit and entrepreneurial scholarships, leadership development, and Conexión’s impact study, building on what you’ve already helped achieve. 💪✨

Our Story: 20 Years of Leadership, Impact, and Community

Conexión was launched in 2005 to prepare HispanicLatino leaders for the growing responsibilities and opportunities that shifting demographics and economic complexity demanded. What began with just 10 participants in our first cohort has grown to nearly 60 participants per year and a national network of nearly 600 alumni. Alongside more than 200 executive mentors, this community has built not only a leadership pipeline, but also a powerful network of trust, support, and impact.

Today, Conexión’s programs are open to individuals from all backgrounds, rooted in 21st-century demographics and focused on the skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex world. We remain committed to our founding vision—ensuring that our communities, organizations, and nation can thrive with strong, values-driven leaders at the helm.

Now, as we celebrate 20 years, we stand at a turning point. Current and future leaders are ready—but they need your support to rise. As part of our 20th Anniversary, we launched the Make Your Mark Campaign with a special goal: $20,000 in honor of 20 years of cultivating leaders.

Your gift doesn’t just honor our past, it invests in the future: the next 600 alumni, the next 200 mentors, and the impact of the next two decades across our communities and our country.

This is an opportunity to be part of Conexion's next chapter: Together, we can ensure Conexión continues to cultivate leaders who will make their mark—in their organizations, in their communities, and in the world.

Make Your Mark Today and help invest in our current and future leaders.
