Why Partner with the NCLR Líderes Initiative?
Corporate America has long understood the significance, in terms of both economic and societal impact, of America’s growing Hispanic community. Since its founding in 1968, NCLR has worked closely with major corporations to promote and institute initiatives that strengthen the Hispanic community and ensure the well-being and future prosperity of America. The following statistics illustrate the value of investing in this thriving market:

As of 2005, the Hispanic population in the continental U.S. was 41.9 million, or 14.5% of the total population. An additional 3.9 million Hispanics were residing in Puerto Rico. It is projected that Latinos will account for more than one in four Americans by 2050.
50% of the Hispanic population is under age 25.
85% of Hispanics under 18 were born in the United States.
Latino buying power is more than $736 billion.
By 2010, it is expected that Hispanics will have more than $1 trillion in disposable income.
The U.S. Latino population remits billions of dollars to Latin America: $45.8 billion in 2004.
