History & Mission

The Latino America Unida Foundation was founded in 2021 by Hermanos of Lambda Alpha Upsilon looking to support the ever growing needs of the fraternity. In 2023 a board was established and the board quickly began to fundraise and develop grants and scholarships for members and entities of Lambda Alpha Upsilon as well as students from college campuses where Lambda Alpha Upsilon entities exist.

Latino America Unida Foundation serves to provide essential support, secure and contribute financial resources for the educational, leadership and charitable purposes of Latino America Unida, Lambda Alpha Upsilon Fraternity, Inc. in order to enrich the lives of alumnae and collegiate members and assist in improving the communities in which they serve.
