Out of 200 national non-profits contestants, Women Palante reaches number 1 spot

ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND, USA, September 21, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Women Palante has been awarded a $5,000 Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute (CHCI) grant, winning this year’s CHCI Pitch Competition, which received more than 200 national non-profits applications.

“The CHCI Pitch competition celebrates the Latino grit and determination spirit […] rewarding creativity and innovation with funding and resources to advance their efforts”, Marco A. Davis, President/ CEO, CHCI, mentioned in his opening speech.

This year’s competition focused on searching solutions addressing social determinants of health, health disparities, and inequities. Women Palante supports four of the five social determinants of health (SDOH), mainly: Healthcare Access and Quality; Education Access and Quality; Social and Community Context, and Economic Stability.

This grant will allow the 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization to continue supporting and educating moms to strengthen their business, financial, health and well-being skills and literacy, helping them to develop strategies for work-life balance.

Funding will be used to implement an inbound digital marketing strategy and activities as well as to develop the online community platform (finding ways to keep women involved in the community - hence making it sustainable).

Additionally, CHCI provides mentorship and supports the visibility and dissemination of the organization.

“We are so grateful for the generous support of CHCI,” says Yurani Sandoval, CEO and Founder of Women Palante. “This grant will have a direct impact on Latina moms and local families and will help us provide them with the support and hope they need to be successful entrepreneurs.”
