HISPANIC AMERICAN FOUNDATION

Mission

The Hispanic culture is the oldest non-indigenous influence in the Western Hemisphere, dating back over 500 years. It is currently reflected throughout contemporary life in our language, foods, architecture, music, and art. In an effort to recognize and celebrate this heritage as it exists within the Tulsa community, the Hispanic American Foundation, a non-profit organization operating under IRS Rule 501 (c) 3 was founded in October 1990. The Foundation is dedicated to the preservation, appreciation, and promotion of Hispanic culture through scholarships, grants, and the presentation of cultural programs.

McDonald’s Latino Youth Leader of the Month Award

The Hispanic American Foundation, in conjunction with McDonald's restaurants, has developed a program aimed at identifying and honoring youth leaders among the Latino Community. These young people are those, who by their actions and lifestyles, exemplify leadership to both the Latino and Anglo communities. Through the "McDonald's Latino Youth Leader of the Month Program", 12 local Latino youth leaders have the opportunity to be recognized through scholarship awards and media recognition. The application process will be held from October 15th, 2006-March 1st, 2007. Once selected, each of the 12 students will receive a $1,000 scholarship, and one student per month will be highlighted in print advertisements and on radio and television.
