Hispanic Heritage Month is a national observance that honors the contributions and culture of Hispanic and Latino Americans. Unlike other observances that take place during one full calendar month, Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th to October 15th each year. September 15th was chosen because it marks the anniversary of the independence of several Latin American countries.

During Hispanic Heritage Month, all Americans are called to reflect on and celebrate the rich culture, history and contributions of the large and diverse population that comprises Hispanic and Latino Americans. Celebrations include colorful parades, musical performances, cultural festivals, art exhibitions and educational programs.

Hosting a YouGiveGoods Giving Event in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month 2023 is a special way to celebrate and support the Hispanic and Latino communities. Raising much-needed supplies for the organizations that strengthen these growing communities across the country makes an immediate impact while raising awareness for the causes that touch Hispanic Americans.
