President and CEO
Hispanics in Philanthropy
One of Forbes 50 Over 50

Ana Marie Argilagos became the chief executive officer of Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) in 2018. HIP concentrates on advancing and funding Latinos across the U.S. It is the largest philanthropic organization that strengthens and funds Latinos. Only one percent of philanthropic fundraising goes to Latinos yet nearly 20 percent of the U.S. population identifies as Latin or Hispanic.

Forbes explains that Argilagos focuses on expanding economic opportunities for Hispanic communities. During the five years she was deputy chief of staff at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Argilagos created the Office for International and Philanthropic Innovation.

The  Annie E. Casey Foundation,  a nonprofit that concentrates on strengthening families, building economic opportunities and transforming neighborhoods, convinced Argilagos to leave HUD and come to its foundation to explain to clients the connection between government and nonprofits.

“Since then, I’ve strongly believed in the power of philanthropy and the need to elevate Latino voices and leadership in the field,” she said.
