54th Annual Fundraiser Luncheon: FUND-IT-FORWARD

For 54 years, the National Latino Education Institute (NLEI) has been a driving force for economic mobility in our community — creating pathways to education, workforce development, and lifelong success.

On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, the 54th Annual Fund-It-Forward Fundraiser Luncheon will convene partners and supporters to honor NLEI’s legacy and invest in its future. Participation in this signature event directly advances NLEI’s nationally recognized programs, equipping individuals with industry credentials, meaningful employment opportunities, and the tools to build thriving families and communities.

Together, we will fund it forward and raise $300,000 to expand opportunity and economic prosperity across Chicago and beyond.
