New fund to support Texas Hispanic community

A group of young Hispanic professionals has launched a giving circle which aims to support the Hispanic community and cultivate the next generation of Latino leaders. About 20 founding members launched the FuturoFund Austin at the end of October. The idea comes from a group of friends who saw a need for Hispanic-focused philanthropy and leadership, particularly in light of the booming Hispanic population in Austin, says co-founder Priscilla Guajardo Cortez, associate director of development for the University of Texas at Austin.
