Grants & Funding Amistades recently secured a $500K multi-year grant from the EPA’s Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving program, indicating strong validation of their equity-focused work and potential for continuation or expansion of funded initiatives that could be leveraged in partnerships or contract work.

Expansion Potential With 11-50 employees and a focus on regionalImpact in Southern Arizona, there is room to scale services through collaborations with larger nonprofits or government programs that target Latino communities, environmental justice, and prevention/intervention strategies.

Tech & Digital Current tech stack includes web and media tools (PHP, Apache, RSS, lightbox, Modernizr, Font Awesome) suggesting capability to support digital outreach, data collection, and accessible online programs for community engagement and partner portals.

Strategic Partnerships Past collaboration with Universidad Católica and international development networks signals openness to cross-border and academic partnerships, offering potential for joint programs, research grants, and policy-focused initiatives.

Mission-aligned Solutions Amistades emphasizes evidence-based, grassroots, and policy-level strategies to address inequities in Latino communities, presenting opportunities to offer capacity-building, training programs, or consulting services to funders and agencies pursuing similar systemic change.
