The Hispanic Heritage Foundation is a mid-sized nonprofit based in Los Angeles, California, established in 1987 by the White House. It operates as a 501(c)(3) organization focused on identifying, developing, and positioning Latino leaders across education, the community, and the workforce to help meet national priorities. The foundation aims to strengthen leadership among Latino populations to influence classroom, community, and workplace outcomes. Its year-round programs include the Hispanic Heritage Youth Awards, Latinos on Fast Track (LOFT), the Hispanic Heritage Awards, and a multimedia public awareness campaign. In recent activity, HHF is developing Code as Second Language en Español, a nationwide effort to teach computer science to 2nd–5th graders in Spanish.
