Firm Foundation Leadership Coalition, Inc. is a social benefit and philanthropic organization established in 1999 and recognized as a 501 (c) 3 organization in 2001.  Firm Foundation Leadership Coalition, Inc. is devoted to developing leaders, increase organization capacity and improve the lives of our Latino communities. We believe that connecting public art to raise awareness of a social cause cultivates environmental stewardship along with community engagement in public education. Furthermore, through the appreciation of arts, youth and children can experience harmony, balance and composition together with cultural history and community building. Through our research, we’ve realized that public art projects play an important role in shaping inner-city, strengthening creative partnerships with the public and private sector while encouraging and improving the sustainability of projects and group projects together to maximize public benefit.

Firm Foundation Leadership Coalition, Inc. has enhanced and impacted the Latino nonprofit organizations by providing community leadership training to over 1400 leaders in the northeast region who provide critical services to low and moderate income individuals. Leadership development is vital to the education of the Latino entrepreneurs because it sets the stage for strong leaders to achieve greater impact for their constituents. Developing successful leaders is a necessity for the entire Latino community. We understand that in order to enhance the Latino community and create economic independence, we need to invest in the Latino leadership capacity. 

It is why we have developed our Philanthropic Programs to include communal activities that engages individuals from the Latino communities while creating short-term outcomes, which creates unity through our Latino culture in a safe environment where it is appreciated and understood, through our language because it is an immediate connect to our spirit and our means, through our communities although dispersed and extended, we are always flexible to return to our roots.
